July Coronation Parking Policy

See also: Handicapped Parking Information

1.) Cars must be removed from site and parked in the mill site as soon as possible after unloading. Any cars still found on site (without formal permission) will be towed after 9AM on Saturday.

2.) Starting on Friday at 3PM and repeating every other hour (as resources permit), Town Crier heralds will go throughout the site to remind people to remove their cars as soon as possible after unloading.

3.) A private, non-SCA wedding will be taking place during the weekend in Port Gamble, and wedding guests will be utilizing existing parking spots in town. Heralds will also remind people that cars are not to be parked on the main street in Port Gamble. Nor are they to block housing access and especially driveways. Cars not promptly removed will be towed.

4.) It will be emphasized to all Gate Teams and Gate Captains that all those who enter gate will be reminded as many times as possible to remove their cars from site as soon as possible after unloading; make sure
that they do not park in such a way as to block access roads and driveways; make sure that they do not park on the main street in Port Gamble; and make sure that they park correctly in the lower mill lot.

5.) It will also be an important part of the Gate Routine that the Parking Pass be adhered to the window inside the car in such as way as to ensure to the best of our ability that the Parking Pass will be visible the
entire weekend. This is to make it easier to identify the owners of any cars so that they may be found as quickly as possible.

6.) The town will be patrolled on a bi-hourly basis and specific cards will be noted that are parked in town. If we can make a determination that the car belongs to an SCA member, we will have it towed an hour after the
following formal town cry on the subject. We will make formal contact with a local towing company before July Coronation and will have a contact number with a pre-arranged truck that will come and pick up any car that we need towed.

7.) Signage to make directions through site as well as gate and areas NOT to park will be more extensive than they have been in the past.

8.) The town of Port Gamble will be encouraged to make areas where cars are SPECIFICALLY not allowed to be parked more easily identifiable, so that when cars are eventually towed we can then point to the signs to explain why they were towed. These signs should help to prevent a few people from parking in unwanted areas in the first place.

An important notice regarding handicapped parking at July Coronation XLI

Due to site restrictions and rental agreements, all parking at July Coronation XLI will be in the main parking lot below the main street in Port Gamble. This includes handicapped parking. Please understand that the areas
in town usually used by us for handicapped parking and VIPs are already taken by a concurrent event in town.

Please do not park in any of the shopping parking stalls in town, even if you are only day-tripping the event. Violators will be towed.

Handicapped parking will be provided on a first come, first served basis. In order to utilize handicapped parking, your vehicle must have a handicapped card/sticker/license plate. A limited number of handicapped
spaces will be available. Once they are filled, vehicles requiring handicapped parking, even if properly tagged, must park in the standard SCA parking.

Parking attendants will be on site on Friday, from Noon until dusk, to direct all event attendees to a parking stall. If you must park after this time, please use your best judgement, and do not block others in. An
attempt to Herald for owners of improperly parked vehicles will be made; however, if we cannot locate you, your vehicle will be towed at their owner's expense.

All attempts will be made to provide a shuttle for all event attendees, handicapped or otherwise, to ferry them from the parking area back to Gate. A return shuttle cannot be guaranteed. Please understand that you are on your own to make arrangements should a shuttle not be available.
