Thank you for being the first to post on this thread Gillawen. I can easily say that most peoples biggest expensive was getting here. For example the rodeo only cost $8 per person to get into and you could get a couple barbequed pork loins and a pop for under $5 for supper. As long as you didnt visit the beer tent too many times a person could get by relatively cheaply.
I personally would like to see half our guild or more show up at the next gathering and for that very reason will try to keep the cost of it down. If you want to spend more and do more stuff thats great also. I scheduled the events at this last gathering and left the decision up to the individual Jedi if they wanted to go do that or not.
I would like to toss this idea out to the people reading this thread. How about a camp out weekend at a local lake/park. We can still go visit the casino and eat out and even make a trip back to my house for your internet fix. If we pick a weekend a festival is scheduled that is all the better. I can lay my hands on some extra camping gear and for those interested we can get you a 3 day fishing license.
Hopefully with more participation we can get this planned far enough in advance so people can plan their vacation for it.
Thank you,
Kanlain
