and why pray tell are you not???

We are trying to cater for all different aspects of the re enactment community , there is more to the Gathering than just a smash fest!

I have a pathological hatred of camping, due to unpleasant experiences as a Scout that I'd rather not talk about.

I can sleep in a tent, so long as it is solid, sealed, insulated, and comes equipped with a hot shower, flush toilet, electricity and Internet. :p

Arthwollipot ,

I know that "the Gathering " is in the pine forest just outside Armidale . Which contrary to popular belief isn't the wilderness , we have a number of well appointed Hotels , with all the mod cons (some even have NBN internet ).
So if you shop around , I'm sure that you'd be able to find somewhere to stay . There are many other re enactors who stay in hotels over night and come out in the morning (some even bring out Mc breakfast for a the lucky few)

I'm kinda new to this, what exactly is a KUBB competition?

Cold and tired? You're not doing the Vikingr thing right

Kubb is a fun Scandinavian game, where the object is to throw sticks at wooden "soldiers" set up by your opponent. The idea is to knock down all of your opponent's soldiers before he/she knocks down yours.
