Registration

Table Mountain Star Party 2008

July 31, August 1 & 2

Registration forms are now available!

The link is at the bottom of this page.  Please read this page carefully before submitting your registration.

There are changes from past years

for the 2008 registration rules!

All registrations must include payment for vehicle (if applicable) and attendees.

1. Registrations for 2008 are based on a "Per Vehicle" structure.  Each vehicle will need its own registration.  Vehicles without registration will not be allowed on-site.  There is a new fee this year that will apply to the vehicle that you arrive in.  This fee has been implemented due to the request of the US Forest Service to reduce the number of large vehicles on site.  It is the increased weight and number of axles that is of greatest concern.  Please do your part and carpool when ever possible.

2. Attendees listed on registration forms are not limited to immediate family members.  We encourage carpooling to the event to help reduce the number of vehicles on-site.

3. Large vehicle space is very limited. 

   1. We will post to this website the availability of space for large vehicles.  When that space has been filled we will post to this site, and we will no longer accept registrations with that size of vehicle.

   2. If you do not indicate the size of your vehicle on your registration form, it will not be accepted.  If you arrive without providing this information there may not be space available for you on site.

   3. If you have a change in your vehicle size or type after you mail your registration you must contact the registrar  prior to arriving to verify space availability.

4. Registration availability will be based upon the postmark on your envelope, so please register early.

• Registration forms are not sent automatically from mailing lists.

• All attendees must pre-register.  On-Site registration can not be accepted.

• We will notify you via this web site and will contact you ONLY if oversized spaces are running low! 

• Please read all of this registration web page information and the registration form, as well as any updates in the coming months! 

It is important that you monitor this site and make yourself aware of all changes in registration policy.   If you have attended the TMSP for the past few years, you are aware of the growth and the popularity of our event and the limited space for vehicle parking. 

Here is the fine print on the Registration Rules:

Due to Forest Service regulations the number of attendees is limited to 700 individual attendees.  We are also limited on the space available for parking vehicles.  Please help us reduce the number of vehicles on site by arraigning to car pool with friends and/or family.

 

If you come early and are on the site before Wednesday, you will be required to check-in and may have to move into an approved campsite.  If you have not pre-registered you will be required to leave the site.  Please contact the parking director before setting up a camp.......There are some areas that are off limits for camping and parking based on the USFS rules.

 

Groups wishing to camp together should arrive together.  We can not guarantee that parking or camping space will be available for groups that do not arrive together.  Parking is arranged on a "first come, first served"  format. 

 

Before your Registration can be accepted as valid, you must sign the appropriate waivers at the bottom of the registration form. You cannot be admitted to the Table Mountain Star Party without a valid registration.  All adults arriving  MUST SIGN the form whether they are the primary registrant or not.  Parents or guardians must sign a waiver for children.

 

Registration Confirmation  We do not mail receipts or confirmations. Records, including your original registration form will be available at the Registration Booth when you check in at the Star Party.  Please watch for your payment check to clear your bank for verification that your registration has been processed.  Checks are usually deposited within one week of being received. If you paid with a money order or other untraceable method, you may email the registrar.

 

Refunds: Refunds will be granted (less a $10 handling fee) upon written requests made before July 6th, 2008.

 

Non-Sufficient Funds / Returned Checks: There will be a $35 handling fee for returned (bad) checks.
