Ceremonies and Speeches

Clock Tower at Ebor

Unloading at the Loop into "bins" is fast and furious and as soon as a vehicle is empty it leaves so another can come down to the "Loop"

Moving gear to the respective Contingents marquees is also accomplished in short order, freeing the bins for the next group

A Misty Dawn breaks over Main Field

The Committee's Greeting

Ebor Park is the Men's sleeping area and Goat Hill is the women's.  Tent trailers are allowed in both, but no RVs.  All the activities, games, give-aways and etc. take place on the main field in or by the marquees.  Sleeping areas are designated "Quiet areas" from 11p.m. till dawn.

And then it's TIME TO REUNION!

Mingle on Main Field and check each Contingent's offerings

Stop for a chat and renew old friendships

Take part in a Parade or Contest

Play Games

The Wet Sponge Toss is a Favourite

Take Part in the Electioneering

Go Shopping !! The Tuck Shop is in the Training Lodge basement

Stroll the Field

Or Catch a Show

Then go and VOTE !

Eventually the shadows lengthen

And dusk falls on Main Field
