March 2010

A Songmakers' Kenney Grove weekend campout will be held at Kenney Grove Park in Fillmore Thursday through Sunday March 18-21, 2010.

A registration form is included in the January issue of the Bard Chord or may be printed from the PDF form below.
Those wishing to arrive Thursday may check in starting at 12 noon. (checkout by 2 PM Sunday). Those not wanting to camp can come for any or all of the days by paying $5 per day/ per car at the gate. This will be a weekend of mostly informal song circle jamming and relaxation. However, there will be the usual Songs of Meaning Sunday morning.

Song circle jamming should be conducted much like hoots in that everyone should be recognized and encouraged to participate, especially at the two official fireside places - the one where we have Songs of Meaning, and the one next to the potluck dinner area. Some of you that jam at your campsite and want to do specific kinds of music may want to post signs such as "Rock and Roll Jamming", "Sing a Long Jamming", "Country Music Jamming", "Bluegrass Jamming", etc., along with the scheduled time. This will encourage those interested in this particular kind of music to join your song circle.

It will be announced if there will be a Saturday night concert.
Coffee will be provided Friday, Saturday and Sunday mornings. There will be a potluck dinner Saturday at 5:30 PM. Simon Lucas will coordinate this activity. See him at Kenney Grove if you have questions.
Shower tokens will be available for fifty cents each and can be purchased at Kenney Grove.

Sally Charette is handling registrations (see registration form). See her at Kenny Grove if you have questions about campsite assignments.

There is no RV dump site at Kenney Grove.

Kenney Grove Park is located just outside the town of Fillmore on route 126. Take 126 West from the Interstate 5 (near Magic Mountain). Take the 126 East from the Ventura Freeway just before reaching Ventura. Just after passing Fillmore, if coming from the 5, and just before getting to Fillmore, if coming from the Ventura Freeway, you'll see a sign for Kenney Grove Park. Follow the Kenny Grove signs from there (turn on Old Telegraph Road off the 126, then left of 7th street and right on N. Oak Ave. to the Park).

It will be a great weekend of music, relaxation and fun, and we look forward to seeing you there. If you have questions or need additional info call or email Simon Lucas, 818-363-4115 / simonlucas@verizon.net
