Hello, Gulf Wars Calontir Party Food Wrangler ™ here!

In order to better track and plan I’ve made a form for people bringing food or supplies to fill out.
https://forms.gle/68WgzhqUMBLns5TZ6

We are also looking for some table lights. Since I plan on labeling every food item, some small table lights will make it so much easier not to make our friends sick.

Thank you all in advance. I look forward to a wonderful party.

Calontir, the drums of Gulf Wars are sounding!

The time is coming to march to battle, ply our crafts, loose our arrows, and mount our horses!  Soon, we shall gather in long-awaited companionship under the Royal Pavilion to raise our voices in merry song and share cups of hot broth!
Will you join us?  Stories will be written, and your Gulf Wars story begins by adding your name to the muster.
If you are planning to go OR if you think you’ll probably go, please sign the muster.  Letting us know that you’re coming will help us plan camping space, buy soup kitchen supplies, and understand the composition of the Army.
We’re looking forward to seeing you there!

Gulf Wars XXX Postponed

It is with broken hearts that we must announce the postponement of Gulf Wars XXX from October 2021 to March 2022 during its traditional time.While our original deadline was September 10, the registration numbers are less than half of the required number to have even a small war. We do not see any way that the number would grow in such a way as to allow for the October war.

All current registrations will be transferred to Gulf Wars in March 2022. If you would like a refund, please follow the standard refund request that is on the website. No refund fee will be taken out.

We look forward to seeing everyone back at King’s Arrow Ranch in March 2022.

In Service to Dream,
Mistress Kendra Dey, OP & Mistress Magdalena de Segovia, OP

Gulf Wars Pre-Registration

Greetings Calontir!

During most years, we have a pretty good idea of what to expect with attendance at Gulf Wars. The numbers vary some due to different factors, but they tend to stay within a range.

This year, with Gulf Wars being on a different date and with all the other factors involved, we have no past numbers to go off of.

So I would ask that if you are planning to go to Gulf Wars in October, PLEASE take a few minutes to go pre-register so that we can get an idea of what our attendance will be.
I look forward to seeing you all there!
