Backpacks Got Jets

This is a product of the weird two tier event lookup system we built into the website a million years ago that we're going to phase out The troop is Saturday 11-4 I'll edit the heading to resolve confusion

The commitment is for the duration of the troop as listed. This prevents troops from starting late or troopers fading out forcing the troop to end too early. There are no rules that prohibit you from showing up to the faire with your costume, but if you sign up to troop the expectation is you'll be there for the duration in an appropriate trooping capacity. Once on site, there is a lot of flexibility, however, if you have to leave you should work that out with the other troopers attending. Whether or not RL will credit you with a troop if you dip early will depend on their guidelines.

Parade Sign Up Sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RinmKHH2zO71lMQMrTQhP5l431-WjmTnTJ7NBsbord4/edit?gid=0#gid=0 The New Haven St. Patrick's Day Parade is the largest, single-day spectator event in the State of Connecticut, and one of our longest running troops. The last few years have been a great collaboration between all the CT Star Wars clubs and we've been growing with members from all over New England and NY coming to visit too! Lets keep up the trend! Click on the "trooping" bit on the event post here so we can log you on the troop tracker, but also please put your name on the spreadsheet so we can figure out all attendees. AFTER PARADE DINNER - St Patrick's Day Post Parade Dinner Info Dinner will be held at J-Roos 243 State Street, North Haven, CT 06473 We will have buffet style dining. Price per head 31.50 payable to joe.a.civitello@gmail.com. Any booze or extras you'll have to start your own tab. I try to be as accommodating as possible and as conscious of everyone's situation as I can, so if anyone would like to attend but the price point is a factor, please contact me offline and we can work something out. ************************************************************************************************** PARADE INFO - MAY CHANGE CLOSER TO EVENT We usually rally at the Granite Street Garage on the parking list early so we have enough time to BS and kit up before shuttles go to the step off point at 11am. Please plan accordingly. Its never fun rushing or leaving people behind in the garage as they get their kits together. Game day: 9-10am - Arrive at Granite Street Garage (It's not a huge garage so the earlier the better. around 10-10:30 it starts to fill up. Secondary lot parking is also available (see attached parking info) 11am - First shuttles to rally point 1:30 - Parade Start 2-230 ish - Step off for our club Once at step off we'll mill around for an hour or two prior to the march and CTG will set marching order once everyone is there. GENERAL INFO PARKING: Parking for Participants ONLY is available at the Granite Square Parking Garage. The parking structure is located at 690 State Street, New Haven CT 06511 between Audubon Street & Trumbull Street. The entrance to this lot is via State Street ONLY. One occupant vehicles will not be permitted to park in this lot. (IF YOU ARRIVE EARLY NOBODY CHECKS) Yale University Parking Lot #16 & #22 have been reserved for one occupant vehicles. Yale Lots # 16 & 22 are located at the intersection of Whitney Avenue & Humphrey Street. Entrance from Whitney Avenue. Shuttle buses will be available for transportation to the assembly area from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. from both parking areas There will be no return shuttle buses at the end of the parade. We'd like to have everyone ready and suited up by the time the first shuttle roles out, so plan your arrival to accommodate this. A 9:00 - 10am arrival may be best to avoid traffic and complications and to ensure you have space to park. I'm a big fan of "the earlier the better" so nobody ends up in any kind of rush. There will likely be some standing around and general milling about and drinking coffee in the lot before we start getting dressed in earnest, but it's a lot better than rushing around. We are being bussed to the staging area, so there won't be anywhere for you to store anything. Whatever you have with you when you leave the lot will be with you for the rest of the day. There will NOT be any shuttle buses returning to the Yale Lot 16 at the end of the Parade. The end of the parade is about a 2 block walk from the parking garage Topic is for discussion of event.
