serve as proof of payment at the gate. Neither Out of the Dark, Inc,

for lost, or misdirected mail.
No refunds. We will, on a case
by case EMERGENCY basis, consider allowing a paid membership to be
carried over to the next Gathering.
Everyone is requested to do a
2 hour work shift at some point during the event. This is the main way
we keep our costs down. Each member is asked to sign up for one 2 hour
work shift in registration, information, set up, clean up, lake watch,
etc. Sign up sheets for the different work shift slots will be
available at registration. Sign up early to get you favored time slot
and area. If you do not wish to sign up for a workshift, registration
costs an additional $10.00.
All laws, regulations, and
ordinances of the Commonwealth of Virginia shall be observed for all
activities conducted at the Gathering. Drinking in MODERATION is
allowed. Obnoxious drunks will be locked in a port-o let until they
sober up, then ejected from the event.
Everyone is responsible for their own food, tents, trash collection, pets, children, attitudes and actions.
All
Gathering attendees must wear their Gathering ID badges at all times.
NO EXCEPTIONS! If a staff person comes across someone without their
badge on, they will escort that person while they retrieve their
badge. Lost badges can be replaced at registration by showing your ID
and paying one dollar. Anyone discovered wearing someone else's badge
may be arrested for trespassing. Anyone discovered on the Gathering
grounds who is not registered WILL be arrested for trespassing! Please
understand that we are getting strict about the badge thing because
mean people decided to mess with us.
All Minors attending the
Gathering MUST be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Young children
must remain in the company of their parent or a guardian at all times!
This
Gathering will be semi-clothing optional. No exposed genitalia! Bring
your fig leaves folks, there will be many children present. Women
being equal to men may go topless in the event area. Unfortunately.
women are required by law to cover their breasts in the public area of
the campground.
Betsy Ashby and Dawn Severson with Out of the
Dark, Inc. will be the only photographers allowed at the Gathering of
the Tribes!! They will ask each potential subject for their name and
permission BEFORE they even point their Soul Stealer at them. NO OTHER
PHOTOGRAPHY OR VIDEO RECORDING OF ANY KIND IS ALLOWED AT THIS EVENT!!!
Anyone else attempting to photograph or otherwise visually record the
Gathering of the Tribes, or any participants in it, will have their
film confiscated and may be ejected from the event! Audio recording is
allowed, but ONLY with the permission of the subject. Your image and
privacy are your own, and they will be protected at this event!
Fires
are only permitted in the campfire circle, barbecue grills, or in
stoves using propane, butane, or other approved fuels. Leaving any fire
unattended is prohibited! It is the responsibility of all campers to
completely extinguish all fires.
Parking is allowed in
designated areas only. ALL cars must be moved to the parking lot as
soon as they are unloaded. If you are camping in your vehicle, once
parked it may not move until you depart.
Pets, Familiars and
Companion Animals are allowed at the Gathering, but their owners MUST
clean up after them. Pets, Familiars, and Companion Animals must be
under the control of their owners at all times. If a Companion Animal
creates a disturbance, its owner will be asked to remove it from the
site. We are not kidding here, if your animals are not socialized to
large crowds, do not bring them!
Recycling is mandatory at the
Gathering. Please separate your trash and carry it to the recycle
center at the front of the campsite. Do not burn your trash on site!
Doing so is against the law, and it stinks.
Gathering
Organizers reserve the right to refuse membership to anyone and eject
anyone creating a disturbance. Gathering Organizers reserve the right
to determine what defines a disturbance.
Convicted Sex Offenders

The
Spring or Fall Gathering of the Tribes is an outdoor camping Event in a
woodland setting. The site is primitive with MANY stumps and
obstacles. As with any outdoor activity, there are numerous potential
hazards and dangers to people AND property. No assurances of safety
can be made!! I understand that many Event activities are physically
strenuous and I will not participate in them unless I am medically able
to do so. By attending, I agree that I am responsible for my own
actions and welfare. I assume all risks associated with attending this
Event, including, but not limited to falls, the effects of the
elements, weather, waterways, fire, etc., any workshops or rituals,
equipment failure or misuse, damage to property, contact with
vegetation, insects, wildlife, pets, and other participants, sudden Yak
stampedes, and assorted "stupid people tricks"; all such risks being
known and appreciated by me. Having read this waiver, and the rules
listed on the reverse side, and knowing these facts and being in total
agreement with them, and in consideration of your accepting my
application, I, for myself and anyone entitled to act on my behalf,
waive and release the Gathering of the Tribes / FCMS inc., Out of the
Dark inc., Blackwater Campground and all sponsors, their officers,
representatives and successors from all claims and liabilities of any
kind arising out of my participation in the Event known as the "Spring
or Fall Gathering of the Tribes".
The undersigned is
responsible for any damages (accidental or otherwise ) he / she does to
the site. No cutting of live trees is allowed! No alteration to the
site is allowed without the express permission of Gathering
organizers. Damage done to turf, shelters etc. must be repaired (i.e.
if you spin out, fill the hole ). Any damages arising out of the
actions of a member, are the financial responsibility of that member.
