Description of Event
The Barony of Calafia wishes to cordially extend an invitation to the entirety of the Knowne World to join us once again for a weekend of fighting, frolicking, and revelry in the shade of the beautiful oak trees of Potrero Park. The event will be held at Potrero County Park, 24800 Potrero Park Drive, Potrero CA 91963. This year the event will be held Thursday, May 27th through Monday, May 31st 2010.
Pre-registration and land allocation are now available on the Potrero War website, www.potrerowar.org. We would like to highly encourage all of our guests to pre-register and sign up for land allocation, as space is at a premium at this well-attended event.
For those guests who choose to pre-register, we will only be accepting mailed-in registration forms. You will no longer be able to pay online with a credit card. Pre-registration is considered valid only if payment is mailed in with the registration forms. Pre-registration will be closing on Saturday, May 1st. All pre-registration forms post-marked after May 1st will NOT be accepted and will be returned to sender. All pre-registered individuals, set-up crew staff, and merchants will still need to check in at gate.
Please also remember to fill out a land allocation request – pre-registration alone does not guarantee you space. Filling out the land allocation form will help ensure that you are able to get enough space to accommodate all members of your camping group, and makes it much more likely that you will be able to camp in your desired location. There have been several significant changes to the camping layout at Potrero War this year. Some of the camping areas have been moved around, and there are now three different noise curfew zones within the park. As such, you may wish to take these considerations into account when deciding what camp spot is best for you or your household. For more information about the changes in the site layout for May War 2010, please visit the website. Land allocation for both pre-registered and non pre-registered individuals will close on Saturday, May 15th at Midnight.
There will be a wide variety of activities for the entertainment of all, including arts and sciences classes, heavies and rapier melee scenarios, archery and thrown weapons, dancing, bardic arts, youth activities and youth combat. Saturday afternoon we will be holding our traditional fund raising arts auction; donations of hand-made items and other artistic works are most graciously appreciated!
This is your war; please keep in mind that wars are only successful because of all the hours so generously worked by you, the volunteers. Please donate two hours of your time to make the war a more enjoyable experience for everyone. To make it as easy as possible for our volunteer staff to plan their war schedules ahead of time, volunteer sign-ups are available in advance on the website.
Site opens to Pre-Registered guests at 10:00am, Thursday, May 27th, and to Non-Pre-Registered guests at noon, Thursday, May 27th. Site closes at 12 noon, Monday May 31st.

Car fees: Due to the increasing difficulties of being able to accommodate all the vehicles at May War, we will be implementing a fee of $1 per vehicle (i.e. a truck towing a trailer would pay $2; $1 for each separate vehicle). We greatly encourage people to carpool to May War, as it is the size of the parking lot rather than the size of the camping area which limits how many people will be able to attend this event as each year we get closer and closer to reaching the site’s parking capacity. The vehicle fees collected go to help cover the cost of site-wide ant abatement.
Make checks payable to the SCA, Inc / Barony of Calafia
