The site is not terribly friendly for the "physically challenged", as there is a long set of stairs down to the hall. If you need a children's area, please call the autocrats so they can work with you. Please volunteer for break-down, even if only briefly.

On-board fees are $16, off-board $8, and out-board $4. Children 12 and under are half price, babes in arms are free. The only reservation is a paid reservation. Make checks payable to "SCA, Inc. -- Ostgardr" and enclose a SASE if you would like a confirmation and/or rules for the Nonce Lovers Game.

You will then pass under a train trestle. Count three blocks on your right. The third block will be West Nicholai St. (The street signs are on the light poles in the middle of Route 107.) West Nicholai St. is one-way and very short. It is advisable that you only park near the Masonic Lodge temporarily to drop off passengers and gear. There is municipal parking on East Nicholai (left off Route 107). You will pass a small church on your left, immediately after the church you will see the parking lot.
