And so ALEP x.5 was born. Half way between the full scale ALEPs which fall every Shire year (three years to the outside world). Yes, that’s Shire reckoning.

Mister Baggins has arranged with the Shaker Village to have a more laid back event focused around more down time. We will still have our evening meals in the Meadow View Barn and after hours in the Dancing Pony, games, dancing and/or singing or whatever YOU tell us you want. Though we won’t be bringing in guest speakers as with the full scale ALEPs, but any and all panels will be presented by the very attendees themselves. Though all past guests are always welcome to join in on their own accord.

BE SURE TO READ –ALL– NOTES ON THESE PAGES

So, here’s your chance at offering those costuming, crafting, leather work, writing, or just discussions that we’ve not had time to fit into ALEP 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. If you just want to kick back and enjoy the Shire and do nothing, then do it. If you have been wanting to offer a panel on {YOUR INTEREST HERE}, here’s your chance. Use the link to the right to open the Google sheet [Panels] and select the time slot and location available. Also if you like to pitch in then use the [Signups] link to the right to open a Google sheet to sign up to help where you like AND if you want a table in the Trading Post then you can select that when we open registrations.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IS ALREADY WRITTEN DOWN

Accommodations are booked through a Shaker Village by calling the front desk and telling them you are booking within the ALEP 5.5 block. If someone else in your party has booked the room, then you can just call and add yourself to that room. Telling them now how you wish to split the room cost will make checkout much easier.

The event room rates are JUST for the days of ALEP x.5. IF you want to come a day early or stay a day longer, then you will need to make that request then at regular room rates.

PAYMENTS: Your $35 deposit (non-refundable) WILL be paid during registration via credit or debit card. The $35 is the minimum payment but you may opt to pay in full at this time just by changing the Amount in the payment field. You may select any of our other payment forms for the balance of your ticket. If the Payment Plan is selected, the first payment will be due 30 days from the date of registration and following payments every 30 days.
