Subject: Announce: TICKET EDITION - PLEASE READ IN FULL!
The moment you've all been waiting for... tickets to Recompression X will soon be on sale!!!
Apologies for sending this out so late, but what you don't know is that behind the scenes, a bunch of re-negotiations with the camp were going on, in every effort to keep the costs as low as possible and to accommodate as many people as possible.
Then, we found out late Wednesday that Lodge # 6 is under renovations & not available to us!
We managed to negotiate; a reduced rate, AND additional beds/bunks to the remaining 4 lodges, so that we can keep our capacity at max, yay!
You may have heard some rumours about some changes happening at Camp Elphinstone, and they are having multiple impacts on our event. Most impactful is overall cost of the event.
While we wish that costs could remain the same as last year, we have seen several significant increases (detailed below). These are reflected by an increase of $30 on the average ticket price over last year. We know that the price reflects fantastic value for a fully-catered, fully-housed major event, especially compared to any other event of it's style.
In previous years, Elphinstone has unintentionally undercharged us; this has been corrected: adds ~$6 to each ticket
Elphinstone daily fees have got up to $35/person/day plus GST
Elphinstone has insisted on putting on extra staff during our event: adds ~$4 per ticket
GVIAS must now collect & pay GST: adds $4 - $6 per ticket
Art Grants budget has been increased to reflect growth in our community and a large increase in applications this year: adds over $8 per ticket
To protect the safety of the participants, we have hired full-time paramedic staff as we did at BiTF last year: adds $8 per ticket
We felt very strongly that passing the full cost of these expenses on to purchasers would raise ticket prices too high, so we have eliminated the early bird rate and made a few small budget cuts to keep the price increase at $30.
NEW TICKET STRUCTURE
Recompression X begins Friday April 2, 2010 at 8:00 AM and ends Sunday April 4 at 1:30 PM. Please plan accordingly.
Greeters will be in full effect, but GATE will be handled by CAMP STAFF, in order to maintain a tight control over entrance to the camp.
In order to simplify the ticketing process & in order follow GVIAS Accounting requirements, ALL TICKETS to Recompression will have a face value of $190, including GST.
All registered participants will be required to pay the $190 ticket fee (see scholarship section below).
Unlike last year, we will be printing physical numbered tickets & mailing them to you. The purchaser will then be responsible for reselling their own ticket, if they are unable to attend.
We have eliminated the early bird & generosity levels as options.
There will be an option to donate any amount into the Scholarship Fund, allowing more people to benefit, due to the kind generosity of those who can afford to pay extra.
SCHOLARSHIP TICKETS
We have allotted 25 scholarship tickets in the budget at $120. This is 5 more than last year, and they are available on a first-come, first-served basis, following which there will be a waiting list. As more donations into the scholarship fund come in from donations from participants, we'll be able to give out more scholarships to those on the wait list.
As mentioned above, even if you are applying for a scholarship ticket, you are required to purchase a $190 ticket. As scholarship tickets are allotted, the Scholarship Pod will advise the successful recipients that they have been awarded the rebate. The rebate cheque in their name will be handed to them once they arrive at camp & sign in with Gate. This avoids any confusion if someone needs to sell their ticket at any point and keeps our accounting clear.
THURSDAY EARLY SETUP PASS (ESP)
Anyone wishing to arrive early for set up on Thursday is required to obtain an Early Setup Pass. As in previous years, a budget has been set aside to subsidize those leads who are required to be there early. Anyone else wanting to arrive Thursday must purchase an Early Setup Pass for $40.
All who arrive onsite Thursday April 1st (even on the last ferry after supper) must have a Early Arrival Pass. Anyone arriving at Gate without an Early Setup Pass will be turned away by Gate Staff, manned by YMCA Camp Elphinstone! Please purchase your Early Arrival Pass at the same time as your Event ticket so that we don't incur extra costs in mailing the tickets out separately.
HOW TO REGISTER
Registration will open at 7pm, this coming Monday February 15th!
In-person registrations (cash or cheque) will be accepted from 7pm until 7:30pm, when we start the meeting, then once again afterwards or during the break.
Online registrations will go live at 7pm at http://www.recompression.com/tickets∞.
Please review requirements on the Registration page & return there on Monday at 7pm, refresh the page & voila!
ALL registered participants will be required to sign some legal documents / waivers upon arrival at camp. Online versions will be available for your review prior to purchasing your ticket.
You will need a Paypal account to purchase your ticket online. Please be sure to sign up for one immediately in preparation for Monday. You can set up a paypal account to charge your credit card, but did you know that if you connect it to your bank account, there are NO fees for personal transfer transactions!?
"Personal Transfer: Free when the money comes from PayPal balance or bank account. 2.9% + $0.30 CAD when the money comes from a credit card (the sender decides who pays this fee)."
In-person ticket sales end on Sunday March 14th, online ticket sales end March 19th, as we must provide camp with an accurate head count for our meals.
All prices include GST, ticket handling and payment processing fees (regardless of the method used for purchase).

Greetings all you fine Burnery types!
Can you believe we had 24 people at our first planners meeting! Vavoom, the energy around Recompression X is off the hook!
Please pass this on to your friends who are coming but who might not be on these lists!

NEW PRODUCTION TEAM
As you may have surmised, we have made some changes to how the event is going to be managed this year.
With very successful sold out events our 2 past years, new management at Camp with tighter rules (more on that at a later date), and increased enthusiasm for participation this year, with very limited space to fit it all in (we're not on an open playa, alas), the GVIAS decided to expand the management team and as such, we're experimenting with a new way of being. We ask that you be patient & accepting of these changes and remember that the success of the event is what we all want.
We now have a top level Production Team of 4 fabulous, talented people with very well-matched skillsets, as follows:
Producers: Abel and squishelle
Technical Director: Simon H.
Volunteer Coordinator: Claire R
NEW REPORTING STRUCTURE
Each of the pods (teams) will be assigned to "report" to their production team leader (see chart below). The idea is to give autonomy to each pod lead/leads to go about their business of making stuff happen with the community, and then reporting their findings & decisions to their assigned producer. If there are any issues, discrepancies, within a pod or between pods, then it will be up to the Production Team to mediate & make the final call, as is deemed to be the best solution for the whole of the event.
INSTALLATIONS IN COMMON SPACES
If you are planning any kind of permanent installation in a common space, and we don't know about it since you haven't requested a grant, please email placement@recompression.com before next Monday February 15th, so that the placement team can draft out an initial camp layout & assign use of the common spaces available to us. Note that "permanent" refers to weekend-long installations (eg. party dome=yes, workshop=no), and common space does not refer to cabins or lodges. The procedure to submit proposals for workshops and theme cabins/lodges will be sent out in the near future.
COMMUNICATIONS
All main communications / callouts should be written by each pod lead, then passed onto communications pod, to ensure that we send out succinct & digestible chunks of information, vs each pod posting callouts separately. This will also ensure that all of the proper communication channels are utilized. Subsequent communications to individuals (ie. A request from the First Aid lead to a member asking for certification information) will not be routed through the communications pod. In other words, if you have something you want to tell everyone on the recompression email list, it should be sent to communications, not directly to the members. Email callouts to communications@recompression.com.
ORG LIST CLEANUP
Instead of creating yet another email list, the Production Team has decided that in an effort to manage the event most effectively, we will be clearing house on the bmv_events_org list & at this time only have the team leads, producers & GVIAS Board Members on it. As more leads are identified, they will be added to the group. We'll do the same type of cleanout before the next big event as well (bitf) & remove anyone not involved at that time.This will make for a more manageable list & planning process! If you have any questions about organization of the event, please refer to the meeting minutes that will be posted on the recompression.com site shortly after each meeting, or direct your question to the relevant pod lead.
WEBSITE UPDATES
Only a few things have been updated on the recompression.com website. Each team lead can go ahead & edit their pod page, contact web@recompression.com if you need direction. Archive & revamp, including registration details will be updated early next week. Producers are meeting Monday to hammer out all kinds of deets, so please be patient. Thanks to Stripey for stepping up again this year to take this on!
MEETING DATES & MINUTES
Meeting Schedule and Minutes posted here: http://www.recompression.com/meetings.php∞
POD LEADS
With 24 people at the first meeting, a most magical thing occurred! Almost ALL of the pods now have leads. Thanks to all of you for stepping up!
That being said, there is lots of room for more leads & co-leads to step up and beef up some of the bigger pods.
If you weren't at the first meeting, you can certainly contact the Production Team or the currently assigned leads directly & offer your ideas & talents to the areas that interest you.
Most of you will be involved with these leads on site; there will be a spot on the registration form for you to identify what area(s) you are most interested in, and you can expect the team lead to contact you.

RECOMPRESSION SOLD OUT!
We have reached our maximum for registrations - we are full! This is great news for the event for the first time since we have been
running Recompression it has reached full capacity, no doubt as a result of the increase in popularity of this amazing event which
promises to be even better this year!
It is sad news for those of you who still may have wanted to register. The only way to get into the event now would be to purchase someone's registration who wants to resell theirs. Anyone who wants to resell their registration needs to deal with the money transaction themselves AND contact register@recompression with the details.
If it's a workshop or performance, you don't need to send the info to me -- I'll collect that info from the leads in charge of those areas.
Please note that I've already got the 10 Guiding Principles, Site Rules, Code of Conduct, Evictions info, and Return Ferry Schedule.

Subject: Recompression
Welcome To Recompression!
As you settle into the realization that yes indeed you are going to Recompression and you start to think about what costumes to bring, what activities and workshops to sign up for, where am I sleeping, what time is the ferry ...... many questions that I hope to help you answer over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for these very important emails.
We also need your help to make recompression run smoothly. Please consider where you can help. The sooner we can get shifts covered the better and the easier our organizers can rest. Can any of you help with the following;
Printing
We’re looking for someone to print this year’s Recompression program. It will probably be 16 pages with a colour cover, and a small run, so we’re talking about a digital print job. If you work for a printer or have a good connection who might be willing to cut us a deal, please contact Kevin∞.
Graphic Designer
We still need a designer to make the “What, Where, When” program look fancy. This program is a printed brochure that is distributed at the actual event, and it includes all the useful info that people need to know during Recompression weekend.
Last year’s program was 16 pages (including cover) on 8-1/2" X 11" paper. Text and photos will be supplied, and I’ll coordinate printing — we just need a designer’s touch to make this thing look good. If you just want to come up with the design template, I can even do the actual typesetting (as long as it’s built using InDesign).
If you can help out, please contact Kevin∞.
Gate Shifts.
Gate is not Greeters. Gate is the first people to meet the participants. Check registration, sign waivers, the official stuff, to make sure who is coming into the event is covered. Even if your cabin has signed up for a Greeters/Gate shift somewhere but you can offer a few hours somewhere else - please do.
Saturday shifts are needed covered from 6pm - midnight. Contact at Stripey∞ if you can help and for more information..
Peer Support Shifts.
Pockets would like a co-lead for peer support. If you have good people skills this may be you.
We are also needing shifts covered;
Peer support is in action from 10pm-4am on Friday and Saturday nights.
We are organizing 2h shifts, preferably with 2 people per shift (10pm-midnight; midnight-2am; 2am-4am).
See the schedule for updates: http://recompression.com/wiki2/PeerSupportPod∞
The only requirement to be a Peer Support attendant at recompression is to be a grounded, sensitive individual who can sit with peers who are in emotional distress. There is no need for the Peer Support attendant to have first aid - just a strong sense of compassion, ability to promote calm, a non-judgemental attitude and a sincere desire to help.
The role of the attendant will be to stay at the Peer Support Centre during their shift and receive anyone who enters on their own accord or anyone who is brought to the centre by Rangers or First Aid (who will be roaming).
For more information on what is involved contact Pockets∞

In this email you will find information on:
Workshops.
Volunteers needed for first aid, Rangers
WORKSHOPS.
There are many wonderful workshops being offered. Most of them are happening on Saturday but there are a couple of workshops happening on friday, so please take note of those - mask making, make a Klown Kar, and a mandala making workshop.
There is a schedule on the website at www.recompression.com with time and place and a short description of the workshop. You will find it under PODS - WORKSHOPS-LIST OF WORKSHOPS. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with this information so you can get the most out of your weekend.
There will be sign up sheets at recompression for a lot of the workshops that have a minimum number of attendants, these sheets will be in the dining hall. The only workshop that needs signing up ahead of time is Cameron's Learning to make a leather Hand-bound Journal. You will make one of your own and he needs to know ahead to order the supplies. If you want to do this workshop which takes place at 11.00 am on Saturday then please contact him directly at chacault@gmail.com
RANGERS.
We are still needing some shifts covered on Friday and Saturday night during and after the burn. For more information on what that entails visit ( http://tinyurl.com/Ranger-Recompression∞ )You do not need to be a Ranger already just a willingness to learn and provide a force for safety at recompression. This is an important role for all of our events and a valuable contribution that you would be making. Contact Vertuminus at rangers@recompression.com
To sign up for a 4 hour shift, or more visit ( http://tinyurl.com/Ranger-Sign-up∞ )
FIRST AID
If any of you have first aid and can offer yourself for a shift we very much need you. Again this is a very important role to be available for an emergency - we hope it doesn't happen but having someone there in the event that it does is crucial.
To find out more visit http://recompression.com/wiki2/FirstAidPod∞ or contact first aid@recompression.com

In this email you will find information on:
Workshops.
Volunteers needed for first aid, Rangers
WORKSHOPS.
There are many wonderful workshops being offered. Most of them are happening on Saturday but there are a couple of workshops happening on friday, so please take note of those - mask making, make a Klown Kar, and a mandala making workshop.
There is a schedule on the website at www.recompression.com with time and place and a short description of the workshop. You will find it under PODS - WORKSHOPS-LIST OF WORKSHOPS. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with this information so you can get the most out of your weekend.
There will be sign up sheets at recompression for a lot of the workshops that have a minimum number of attendants, these sheets will be in the dining hall. The only workshop that needs signing up ahead of time is Cameron's Learning to make a leather Hand-bound Journal. You will make one of your own and he needs to know ahead to order the supplies. If you want to do this workshop which takes place at 11.00 am on Saturday then please contact him directly at chacault@gmail.com
RANGERS.
We are still needing some shifts covered on Friday and Saturday night during and after the burn. For more information on what that entails visit ( http://tinyurl.com/Ranger-Recompression∞ )You do not need to be a Ranger already just a willingness to learn and provide a force for safety at recompression. This is an important role for all of our events and a valuable contribution that you would be making. Contact Vertuminus at rangers@recompression.com
To sign up for a 4 hour shift, or more visit ( http://tinyurl.com/Ranger-Sign-up∞ )
FIRST AID
If any of you have first aid and can offer yourself for a shift we very much need you. Again this is a very important role to be available for an emergency - we hope it doesn't happen but having someone there in the event that it does is crucial.
To find out more visit http://recompression.com/wiki2/FirstAidPod∞ or contact first aid@recompression.com

Official Communiqués from Recompression 2009!
We’re looking for someone to print this year’s Recompression program. It will probably be 16 pages with a colour cover, and a small run, so we’re talking about a digital print job. If you work for a printer or have a good connection who might be willing to cut us a deal, please contact Kevin∞.
Last year’s program was 16 pages (including cover) on 8-1/2" X 11" paper. Text and photos will be supplied, and I’ll coordinate printing — we just need a designer’s touch to make this thing look good. If you just want to come up with the design template, I can even do the actual typesetting (as long as it’s built using InDesign).

Subject: Recompression
Welcome To Recompression!
As you settle into the realization that yes indeed you are going to Recompression and you start to think about what costumes to bring, what activities and workshops to sign up for, where am I sleeping, what time is the ferry ...... many questions that I hope to help you answer over the next couple of weeks, so keep your eyes peeled for these very important emails.
We also need your help to make recompression run smoothly. Please consider where you can help. The sooner we can get shifts covered the better and the easier our organizers can rest. Can any of you help with the following;
Printing

If you work for a printer or have a good connection who might be willing to cut us a deal, please contact program@recompression.com.
Graphic Designer
We still need a designer to make the “What, Where, When” program look fancy. This program is a printed brochure that is distributed at the actual event, and it includes all the useful info that people need to know during Recompression weekend.

If you can help out, please contact Kevin∞.
Gate Shifts.
Gate is not Greeters. Gate is the first people to meet the participants. Check registration, sign waivers, the official stuff, to make sure who is coming into the event is covered. Even if your cabin has signed up for a Greeters/Gate shift somewhere but you can offer a few hours somewhere else - please do.
Saturday shifts are needed covered from 6pm - midnight. Contact at Stripey∞ if you can help and for more information..
Peer Support Shifts.
Pockets would like a co-lead for peer support. If you have good people skills this may be you.
We are also needing shifts covered;
Peer support is in action from 10pm-4am on Friday and Saturday nights.
We are organizing 2h shifts, preferably with 2 people per shift (10pm-midnight; midnight-2am; 2am-4am).
See the schedule for updates: http://recompression.com/wiki2/PeerSupportPod∞
The only requirement to be a Peer Support attendant at recompression is to be a grounded, sensitive individual who can sit with peers who are in emotional distress. There is no need for the Peer Support attendant to have first aid - just a strong sense of compassion, ability to promote calm, a non-judgemental attitude and a sincere desire to help.
The role of the attendant will be to stay at the Peer Support Centre during their shift and receive anyone who enters on their own accord or anyone who is brought to the centre by Rangers or First Aid (who will be roaming).
For more information on what is involved contact Pockets∞

RECOMPRESSION SOLD OUT!
We have reached our maximum for registrations - we are full! This is great news for the event for the first time since we have been
running Recompression it has reached full capacity, no doubt as a result of the increase in popularity of this amazing event which
promises to be even better this year!
It is sad news for those of you who still may have wanted to register. The only way to get into the event now would be to purchase someone's registration who wants to resell theirs. Anyone who wants to resell their registration needs to deal with the money transaction themselves AND contact register@recompression with the details.

This is the kind of info you should send me: cabin activities, art installations, meetings, and other happenings.
If it's a workshop or performance, you don't need to send the info to me -- I'll collect that info from the leads in charge of those areas.
Please note that I've already got the 10 Guiding Principles, Site Rules, Code of Conduct, Evictions info, and Return Ferry Schedule.
