Yes....Camping....I think that may be the answer. That covers location, boarding, and even some activity....for a low cost. Some campsites even give better rates if you have a large group. I camped in Williamsburg for $16 a night. We could have an annual ISRP campout. And it doesn't even have to be in the same spot every year.
camping is an good idea Nat!
also a Renfaire ground, I can try to find out how much it would be for the one in MD. It has a huge field for parking and campers and the facility is really nice. Also there are many nice campgrounds all through out the country

Camp grounds could work. And if you really want to save money. a good 90% of all camp grounds have little camp stores with snack foods. People could possibly buy their own food. If thats a cruddy idea, then what about like Brutal said, formulate a cash pool. It could be done when everyone arrives on the grounds and a small group. possibly locals could go out and get the food from the store.
this way it advoids possible loss of cash funds through the mail or worse things. heck *grins* if we all rough it, why not hunt? now THAT would be great! expecially if its during a hunting season.

I will able to contribute to any on the spot cash pool.
But I do not trust any kind of electronic transfer, I've lost money that way.
But anyway, this camping idea seems good.
Even if I have never camped before, but no matter as there is a first time for everything.
But as for during hunting season I'll allow myself to be bait.
For what I have no clue.
Anyway, I am ready to allocate funds to this whenever it is needed.

Okay, I got a reply back from the woman who organized my ten year class reunion. To reserve Lafferty Ballpark (It has a building with a kitchen, a pavilion with picnic tables, and the ballfield) it costs $50. The camping idea could be coupled with this though it wouldn't be roughing it lol.

I hate to be the bubble-burster, but after having talks with another RPer I've come to realize while the camping idea sounds fun is it really a wise choice for the first convention?
There are many factors when it comes to camping and while I would never want to see someone get hurt, I find myself thinking of the trust issue.
We have to 'feel' each other out first.
And that will take some time even if we are one big, crazy, RPing family.
But on the other hand, Amastacia's hybrid idea isn't such a bad idea.
It somewhat hinders the problem of not knowing who is really who.
I could go into some more rambling against the camping idea, but if anyone thinks on it long enough they will realize the other problems.
But anyway, that's my piece after much thinking.

Camping sure... hunting? I don't think I've got the skills of any of my characters for this task Immy! hehe What about I cook whatever is hunted? *nods* That I can do! ^_^

Hunting. *shudder* I've nothing against hunting, as long as what is killed is eaten and used, but, I have trouble with food that I see still resembling the animal it once was. Can't even pick lobster out of a tank. Not that we can afford resturants where you do that all that often. . .
The ballpark with the kitchen and stuff sounds very good.
And, right, Zar, nothing has been decided yet. We're still considering options and pricing out the ideas.
I have been to a weekend event that was camping, and it was fun. That was in the Jemez (sp?) mountains in New Mexico, outside of Albuquerque. Since I don't drive, I couldn't even say for sure how far out side of Albuquerque, or if it was closer to Santa Fe. . .at any rate, most everyone was strangers to each other, and it worked out just fine.
And, of course, camping at a site is in the fine tradition of the SCA too. . .Just remember, when you pack your cooler full of meat and ice, make sure the drain plug is closed if you don't want to end up having to cook your whole weekend's worth of meals all on the first night. . .
