Space Adoption
What would we like to do with the spaces that we have available? What options are there for theme camps to create spaces to gather? What options are there who dont have live in vehicles to sleep indoors? How do we determine which camps get which spaces and how people sign up to sleep indoors?

It would be similar to CCC at Nest or Microburn. We could bring just lots of costumes and a make-up station. But can also expand to become a workshop space and/or bring speakers to organise a few parties. I guess it depends a bit on the space available. We could even build a structure outside, but I don't know if there is any space for that, or how that would pan out if it is very cold. For loud music and/or party space it obviously will need to fit within the sound restrictions on the site, which I also don't know anything about yet. So to summarise, we can make it big, we can make it small :).

there is space for sure to build a tent outside- next to the roundhouse last year we had a carport-sized space, for example.
i dont know of any of the yurts that would fit something as large as costume camp was at nest but maybe i am wrong.

It would be smaller then nest as we're less people in total and don't have a van for transport so we'll need to see what fits and how we can best pack.

Would one of the yurts be big enough for CCC?

I think that would if one if available.

please have a look at the trello cards 'camps/space adoption proposals' & 'Bed allocations' :)

Summarising this archival convo to move forward in actually claiming/assigning spaces..
Theme camps vs sleeping: decided
Thanks to foxy who seems to have well distributed the more sleeping spaces vibes from the more theme camp style structures on the 2 tabs in the main spreadsheet.
Bed claims: undecided
it seems like who gets a bed from the bunk spaces is still not decided, we could either do a lottery or see how many people claimed they needed on and if there might be enough room. we could have sleeping areas claimed by individuals or camps (i.e. gate crew had bunks in the cottage by gate last year). I think how people get beds is still a more open question, especially as their seem to be more people who want beds than have them.
Here is the trello card on that: https://trello.com/c/1hixMFwO/106-bed-allocations
Perhaps we need to check about ash's comment that there might be fire safety regulations in terms of how many air mattresses/ folks sleeping we can have in the bunk rooms?
My post-decomm reactionary ideas of beds as volunteer incentives were shot down by the renegade borderlanders and i put my swords down in respect & reverence to your decentralised ways.
The concept of payment for beds was unpopular.
Space Adoption: in process
*larch family yurt has been claimed as Bunny Circus
*Zen sauna has claimed the main sauna area so please collaborate with them for all your sauna based desires
*ye olde thirst trap/ oak family yurt (I believe it's called) potentially by costume camp?
*tipi by welfare
*Couples yurt by Beayurt
These adoptions have kind of happened naturally, between dreams and especially after the discussions at the meeting.
you are definitely able to contest those initial claims if you want one of those spots for your own theme camp by just popping on the spreadsheet and writing your name as second adopter, and perhaps contacting those who have already claimed it to give you rEaSoNz.
Pro tip: check out the dream associated with the space to learn more about what they plan to do with it: https://dreams.wtf/northern-regional/celts-dreams-2023
You can also collaborate with those camps if you want to run a workshop or event, either before the event or during.
Also, there are still 2 yurts to be adopted. Consider whether you and your crew, or a new crew of people who have shared interests as you, would like to adopt a yurt meaning being responsible for it's LNT footprint, caring for it, decorating it and filling it with life and magic.
I believe this is an adequate general summary of this thread and we can probably go ahead and close it soon! Please write here whatever i missed.

+1 for closing this thread. Please follow the 'Bed allocation' Trello card https://trello.com/c/1hixMFwO and give input on the pending decisions therein!

Hey Sabine! What is it that you'd like to bring, exactly? are you looking to host events?
