Ms7821: /* Creating a Feed with Google Calendar */

= Publishing Your Village's Schedule =

For villages running talks, workshops, games, meetups, or anything else they can be added to the online schedule so that people can find them and join in. These instructions will help you get that set up.

To do that you need an ical feed of your events. If you already know what that is, grab the URL, and add it at [https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/external/feeds emfcamp.org/schedule/external/feeds]. If you have no idea what that means, read on, its really easy.

== Creating a Feed with Google Calendar ==

The simplest way to do this is to use Google Calendar, assuming you have a Google account go to [https://calendar.google.com calendar.google.com], you should see something like this:

[[File:GoogleCalendar.png|400px]]

Click the + button above "My Calendars" (halfway down the left-hand side), and fill in some details about your village, making sure to set the timezone to GMT+1. Once that's done, add some events to the calendar.

Once that's done hover over the calendar in the list and click on the menu button to the right of the name.

[[File:HighlightedMenu.png]]

Once you open the settings select to enable public sharing:

[[File:PublicSharing.png|400px]]

And finally scroll down until you find the "Public address in iCal format" box, and copy the link in there - you can take that link and drop it into [https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/external/feeds emfcamp.org/schedule/external/feeds]. If the schedule changes, or you have new events, just update your Google Calendar and the schedule will update shortly afterwards.

FAQ

2018-08-08T19:18:55Z

Ms7821:

__NOEDITSECTION__
{{link-banner}}

==General==

===Who are you?===
Electromagnetic Field is a non-profit event run entirely by a group of dedicated volunteers. EMF 2018 is the fourth major festival we've held in the UK, and a lot of us also help run other festivals in Germany and the Netherlands.

===Can I help out?===
EMF is organised entirely by volunteers. The event's success relies on attendees helping out to the extent they are willing.

More information on helping out during the event will appear on the [[Volunteering]] page in due course. If you are able to help plan and work before the event, check out the [[Teams]] page to see which teams need help.

===How accessible is EMF?===
We take accessibility very seriously, and we want to let as many people experience the fun of EMF. However, it is ultimately an event in the field, and we can't work miracles with our limited budget.

The site will be well-lit during the event, and we will aim to cover access to the stages with trackway. Travelling between stages may take some time. There will be accessible toilets and the current plan includes an accessible shower with a wheelchair ramp. We cannot guarantee 24/7 power, so it must not be relied on for medical needs, but the power infrastructure team will be on call through the night.

If you will be attending with a carer, they are entitled to a free ticket. Please [mailto:[email address removed] email us] once you've got your ticket so we can allocate your carer a ticket. Registered assistance dogs will be allowed.

If you have any other accessibility concerns, please [mailto:[email address removed] drop us an email].

===Is EMF family-friendly?===
Yes! We want EMF to be a great event for hackers of all ages.

In 2014 and 2016 we had licensed, free childcare provided by the award-winning [https://www.nipperbout.com/ Nipperbout], which was exceedingly well-received. We're aiming to provide this again, subject to sponsorship being secured (childcare is expensive!). There will be a designated family camping area, and a whole track of events and workshops for young people.

EMF has a comprehensive lost-child policy with DBS-checked staff available to help out.

There are a number of things to bear in mind:
* Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
* There will be dangerous things on site, but they will be clearly marked.
* Licensed alcohol sales are only for people of age 18 and over. Bar staff will ask for ID.

===How old do you have to be to attend EMF by yourself?===
You need to be 16 or over on August 30th, 2018 to attend EMF without an adult.

==Ticket Sales==
===What does the ticket price include?===
The ticket price includes admission to the event, admission to all of the talks, and most of the workshops. Some workshop organisers charge a fee in order to cover material costs, and places on most workshops will be limited.

Your ticket also includes:
* Tent pitch
* Water
* Showers & Toilets
* [[Network|Fast internet]]
* Electricity

===Can I bring a caravan/camper van?===
Yes, we will have a dedicated camper van area on site, within the main fence, with 16A power provided. You'll need to buy an additional camper van ticket.

If you are coming with a caravan, parking for your towing car in the car park is included.

Please try to arrive before midday on Friday and leave after midday on Monday to reduce traffic movements on site. If you're planning on leaving earlier, please let us know when you arrive so we can park you close to the exit.

We unfortunately can't provide water hookups or drainage/emptying facilities. You will not be able to empty your tank during the event.

===If I tow a caravan with a campervan, will I need a ticket for each?===

Yes.

(Somehow this is actually a frequently asked question!)

===Do volunteers get a free ticket?===
Everyone who attends is expected to buy a ticket, including the founders and the core organisation team. So many people contribute to running EMF that it would be financially impossible to give everyone who helps out a free ticket, and unfair to draw a line past which volunteers receive free tickets.

The sole exception to this rule are first aiders, who must be trained to the high standards of our first aid team, and are expected to carry out three eight-hour shifts in return for a free ticket.

===The transaction reference you've provided isn't accepted by my bank!===
If you are having trouble entering the transaction reference into your online banking, just remove the hyphen. Some banks don't like it and don't tell you why.

===Can I transfer tickets to someone else?===

Yes - once you've bought a ticket you can transfer it to someone else by entering their email address on our site. We recommend you do this if you're buying tickets for other people, so that they can receive updates directly from us.

We would kindly request that you don't sell tickets to other people for more than the price you paid for them.

You can find people who may be interested in getting your ticket at [[Ticket_Exchange]].

===Can I get a refund?===

We may consider issuing refunds to those who can't attend if the event sells out. We will not issue refunds for any reason before then. (However, you can sell your ticket on to someone else - see above.)

===Why do you sell tickets in such annoyingly small batches?===

Because we don't want to take more of your money than necessary.

EMF is a non-profit, and we aim to end the event with enough surplus to let us comfortably run the next event, but not too much more. The budget for EMF isn't solid until about six months prior to the event (especially when we've moved to a new site) but we need cash earlier in order to pay deposits to key suppliers. These secure important things like toilets, temporary structures, and the site itself.

If we were to put all of our tickets on sale early, we would have to set ticket prices higher in order to make provision for potential budget changes. By selling smaller batches earlier, we ensure everyone's ticket is the best value, and that as many people as possible can have the chance to attend EMF.

==Planning your Attendance==
===Where is it? How can I get there?===
The EMF site is Eastnor Castle Deer Park, located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire.

We'll be running a shuttle bus to Ledbury station which has direct trains to Birmingham and London. See [[Travel]] for more details

=== Can someone take me there? ===

See the [[Travel#Carpooling]] section of the [[Travel]] page

===When can I arrive? When do I have to leave by?===
The site will open to ticket holders on Thursday at 4pm. All ticket holders must leave the site by noon (12pm) on Monday. Talks and workshops won't start until after midday on the Friday so there's plenty of time to arrive on Friday morning.

We will be there before and afterwards setting up and packing up. If you want to help with this, please let us know (by emailing [mailto:[email address removed] [email address removed]]) and we'll let you know when you can turn up. If we have not confirmed that we're expecting you before or after the event you will not be admitted to the site. Anyone arriving before Friday morning or staying beyond Monday afternoon will be expected to help with set-up and tear-down (both of which are mostly manual labour).

===When do things kick off?===
The talks and workshops will begin after lunch on Friday, although people will be setting up earlier in the day.

Talks and workshops run daily through to the evening, although we expect villages will be doing things late into the night! The last talks will finish on Sunday evening by 9pm.

===What's the mobile phone coverage like?===

Mobile phone (a.k.a. cellphone) coverage is almost non-existent. Of all the carriers, Vodafone seems to be the best, with some signal in some areas - but with 2,500 more people on site there are no guarantees it will work at all.

Basically, you should expect to have no reception across most of the site and most of the time.

For data, that's no problem thanks to the [[Network|excellent WiFi]] across the site. If you need to be reachable by phone during the event, your best options are:

* Use a SIP/VoIP app on your smartphone over the wifi.
* Bring a DECT phone to connect to the [[DECT|DECT network]]. There will hopefully be a way to get yourself an external phone number to your DECT phone or for outside callers to dial an extension number to reach you.

===Will there be a bar?===
Yes, we'll be running a volunteer-staffed licensed bar selling beer and wine, as well as soft drinks and the hacker energy drink Club Mate. Far from the usual crap festival beer, we will be serving real ale from local breweries with all profits going towards making the next iteration of Electromagnetic Field more awesome.

The bar on-site opening hours are subject to licensing which will be finalised soon.

===Can I bring pets?===
Sorry, animals (except registered assistance animals) are not allowed.

===Can I smoke?===
Smoking (including vaping) is not allowed in any of the event tents or in the food/bar area. Elsewhere, please be considerate and very careful to extinguish your cigarettes to avoid setting the dry grass on fire. Please make sure cigarette butts are disposed of in rubbish bins rather than just thrown on the ground as the site is used by livestock at other times of the year, and it's a pain for the clean up crew to pick them up after the camp is over!

===Can I bring X/Y/Z?===
tl;dr Probably

Please let us know if it's going to be large/tall/use a lot of power/be noisy or anything else you think we should know. We don't want to stop people bringing the latest cool laser helmet for shark 3D printer arduino-powered UAV thing, but we need to plan for it.

Things requiring special permission and may not be allowed: balloons, sky lanterns and the like.

===Can I bring/fly my drone?===
Yes - lots of attendees will be bringing drones and there will be a dedicated UAV flying field. It is against UK law to fly drones over the campsite unless you hold permission from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. EMF will be enforcing this rule, and for safety we will not allow UAVs to be flown over the site without prior arrangement.

===What power connectors will be available?===
Mostly 16A IEC309 ('Ceeform'/'Caravan') connectors although there will be some 13A UK sockets. See the [[Power|power page]] for more information.

===What if I don't like camping?===
Whilst we'd strongly recommend camping (so much happens late into the evening and it's a lot more fun) we realise not everyone wants to. There are several hotels in Ledbury.

===What are villages?===
[[Villages]] are areas of the campsite self-organised by attendees. The idea is that like-minded people get together, set up in an area of the campsite and enjoy each other's company. Villages are often set up around a topic or existing group (e.g. lock-picking or a hackspace). Some of them will run their own events parallel to the main schedule (for example last year one village hosted a weekend-long LAN party whilst another ran workshops on ring-making).

If you want to find out more, or see which villages are already proposed see the [[Villages| villages page]]

You don't need to join a village to attend.

What To Bring?

2018-08-05T14:28:52Z

Ms7821: /* Vital stuff */

__NOTOC__
{{link-banner}}
This is an incomplete list and only a suggestion!

== Vital stuff ==
{|
|-
| align=right |⛺|| Tent (or space in someone else's)
|-
| align=right |🛌|| Bedding - a sleeping bag and a pillow, plus extra blankets in case it is cold
|-
| align=right |👚|| Clean clothes
|-
| align=right |🚿|| A towel (we have showers!)
|-
| align=right |🚿|| Shower gel, shampoo, soap, toothbrush, etc.
|-
| align=right |🔦|| Torch and extra batteries. The site will be well lit but there will be darker bits (e.g. inside your tent)
|-
| align=right |🥑|| Food and/or money for food (the bar will do cashback if you need more money)
|-
| align=right |👢|| Walking boots or wellies (the site is a field, good shoes are a must)
|-
| align=right |🧥|| Waterproofs. This is the UK: we do wet.
|-
| align=right |👕|| Warm clothing, for evenings and sleeping in if it gets cold
|-
| align=right |🎒|| Rucksack (or similar) for carrying valuables about with you (tents are NOT secure & we cannot guarantee things will be safe anywhere on site)
|-
| align=right |💊|| Medicines, hayfever tablets (you will be surrounded by hay bales all day)
|-
| align=right |🌞|| Sun cream and/or a sun hat
|-
| align=right |🎟️|| Your EMF ticket (printed or saved on your phone - these will be issued shortly before the event)
|}

== Useful things to bring ==
{|
|-
| align=right |🔌|| A 20-30m power lead. If you can, a 16A plug on the end is useful.
|-
| align=right |🔌|| A long (as long as the power lead) ethernet cable to connect your tent (although we have WiFi as well).
|-
| align=right |💻|| Computer, both for personal use and many of our workshops will use them
|-
| align=right |💻|| A micro USB cable to connect the badge to your computer
|-
| align=right |🔌|| Charging gear (for phones, laptops etc.)
|-
| align=right |🇪🇺|| Europe to UK plug adaptors (if you have non-UK equipment)
|-
| align=right |🔨|| Making gear (for any/all of your hobbies)
|-
| align=right |☕|| A water bottle and/or mug, useful for food & drink (when not got from vendors)
|-
| align=right |📼|| Tape, gaffer, LX, what ever, always useful for fixing things wot break (like tents)
|-
| align=right |🖊️|| Pen and paper
|-
| align=right |🚮|| Bin bags (for rubbish and dirty clothes)
|-
| align=right |🔥|| A few gold and silver space blankets and clothes pins to cover your tent and prevent it from turning into an oven in the morning sun
|}

== Advice for villages/large groups ==
{|
|-
| align=right |☕|| A small camping kettle may come in handy (larger kettles require care). We have food and drink vendors on site.
|-
| align=right |🍳|| A camping stove shouldn't be needed, but will be permitted as long as it's off the ground.
|-
| align=right |🖥️|| A network switch may reduce the amount of network cabling required but please inform [[Team:NOC|NOC]] you have a switch. Wireless access points are not allowed.
|-
| align=right |🖥️|| The switches in the DK's won't all do 10Mbit, so if you need 10Mbit connectivity (e.g. for old or embedded things) please bring a switch.
|-
| align=right |🥛|| A mini fridge may be useful for storing milk
|}
== Things to avoid if possible ==
{|
|-
| align=right |🍾|| Glass bottles: broken glass is a pain to clean up.

|-
| align=right |🔥|| Being on fire.

|-
| align=right |🛋️|| Repeatedly jumping on a pile of bean bags in the lounge: bean bag balls are a pain to clean up.

Electromagnetic Field 2018

2018-07-23T00:12:47Z

Ms7821: Add important stuff to the homepage

{{link-banner}}
[[File:Emf1.jpg|thumb|left|The EMF sign in 2014]]
Electromagnetic Field (EMF) is a non-profit UK camping festival for those with an inquisitive mind or an interest in making things: hackers, geeks, scientists, engineers, artists, and crafters.

Electromagnetic Field 2018 will take place between Friday 31st August and Sunday 2nd September 2018 in [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]] in Herefordshire. Just like in [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2012 2012], [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2014/w/index.php/Electromagnetic_Field_2014 2014] and [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2016/w/index.php/Electromagnetic_Field_2016 2016], hundreds of people will gather in a field for three days of talks and workshops covering pretty much everything. In 2016, this included blacksmithing, crocheting, [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wueRcp8QdBM robot dinosaurs], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iqTLQ0T-MxU 3D printed 4D shapes], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AcuwrU_bmUI key impressioning], and much more.

To help matters along, we will arrange [[Power|electrical power]], a [[Network|high-speed internet connection with reliable WiFi]], and a bar stocked with real ale and Club Mate.

To get an idea what EMF 2016 was like, you can view the [https://wiki-archive.emfcamp.org/2016/w/index.php/Talks list of talks, workshops and performances] and see recordings of a number of them on our [https://www.youtube.com/user/emfcamp1/videos Youtube channel]. If you are inspired by the past content, please consider giving a talk yourself or running a workshop this year!

The campsite will also have a number of [[villages]], where those with something in common can camp together. Keep an eye on this wiki, and pick a village to join, or start your own.

At each EMF event we give our attendees a programmable badge. In 2016, attendees received a MicroPython enabled [http://blog.emfcamp.org/post/145667126793/the-emf-tilda-badge-is-saved TiLDA Mkπ]. Information about past badges including TiLDA, SiNE and our next badge can be found [https://badge.emfcamp.org here].

We recommend everyone reads the following pages before arrival:
* [[Travel]]
* [[Power]]
* [[What To Bring?]]

If you want to get in touch, there is info on the [[contact]] page.

Ms7821: Add ticket purchasing tip

The EMF2018 site is [[Location|Eastnor Castle Deer Park]], located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire.

== Public transport ==

=== Train 🚂 ===
By train, we are close to '''Ledbury''' station which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/londonpaddington/ledbury/ three hours] direct from London Paddington and [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghamnewstreet/ledbury/ one hour] from Birmingham New Street. If you order tickets under 16 weeks away, you can get one way tickets to/from London for £11 or £13.50.

Ledbury station to the EMF site is around 5km/10 mins drive, and we will be providing a complimentary shuttle bus service directly to the site.
Please stay tuned for further details on timings.

=== Air ✈️ ===

The closest major airport is [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birmingham_Airport Birmingham ✈(BHX)], which is around [https://traintimes.org.uk/birminghaminternational/ledbury/ 1hr40] by train to Ledbury station, or an hour by road.

[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bristol_Airport Bristol ✈(BRS)] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiff_Airport Cardiff ✈(CWL)] are around 1hr40 by road, but poorly connected by public transport.

For those travelling long-haul, BHX is likely to be be most useful followed by LHR.

== Driving 🚗 ==
If you plan to drive, you will need to buy a parking ticket (£15) or campervan ticket (£40).

The site is around 13 mins drive from the M50 Junction 2.

Plan your travel to the south gate (adjacent to A438) - postcode '''HR8 1RQ''' should get you there. The entrance to the site is '''52°01'56"N 2°23'01"W''' / '''OS Grid SO 738 372'''.

Coming with an [[Power/Electric_Vehicles|⚡️ electric vehicle?]] Please add yourself to the [[Power/Electric_Vehicles| EV charging page.]]

Ms7821: /* Current State */

== About ==
We're responsible for the main website as well as all the various other bits that fit with it, such as the wiki, map, volunteer system and badge backend. We provide operational support before and during the event to ensure people can use these as seamlessly as possible.

== Volunteering ==
Currently there're only a few of us and we mostly organise via [http://github.com/emfcamp Github] and [[ IRC ]]. We welcome help from both experienced people and anyone who wants to learn more, and it's easy for us to slice out some small self-contained bits if you're not sure about diving straight in. Our amount of free time and ability to make changes drops as the event approaches, so come talk to us!

== Team members ==

{{TeamUserList}}

== Current State ==
We have two major projects and some minor ones at the moment:

=== Major jobs ===
* '''Volunteering''': after wrangling with CCC's Engelsystem last year, we've decided to rewrite it in <s>Rust</s>Python. This involves capturing a small amount of extra information from volunteers, co-ordinating shifts and reminding people when they're needed.
* '''Web app''': on the back-burner for a long time, we're building a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app PWA] that brings volunteer shifts, talk schedules and event-wide notices into a single app that works on any modern browser.

=== Minor jobs ===
* Something to help the '''villages''' that are hosting workshops
* '''Automated deployment''' for our services (Puppet)
* '''Pentesting''' and security review for our new volunteer system
* Replacing our '''mailing list''' provider (this doesn't need to be done before the 2018 event)

== Technologies used ==
Currently we use mostly Python and value readability, so let us know if you find stuff that's obscure or scary.
* Flask framework & SQLAlchemy
* PostgreSQL (even for mediawiki)
* Bootstrap3 and jQuery
* Pulp (linear programming for scheduling)
* PostGIS, tilestache & Leaflet.js
* Prometheus & Grafana

== Services we're already responsible for ==
* Ticketing and arrivals
* Selling merchandise like t-shirts
* Call for Participation, talk review system and scheduling
* Authentication for separate systems (previously Engelsystem and the badge API)
* Wiki, badge wiki and archived wikis
* Map/tile server
* Monitoring for the above services

Ms7821: /* Major jobs */

== About ==
We're responsible for the main website as well as all the various other bits that fit with it, such as the wiki, map, volunteer system and badge backend. We provide operational support before and during the event to ensure people can use these as seamlessly as possible.

== Volunteering ==
Currently there're only a few of us and we mostly organise via [http://github.com/emfcamp Github] and [[ IRC ]]. We welcome help from both experienced people and anyone who wants to learn more, and it's easy for us to slice out some small self-contained bits if you're not sure about diving straight in. Our amount of free time and ability to make huge changes drops as the event approaches, so come talk to us!

== Current State ==
We have two major projects and some minor ones at the moment:

=== Major jobs ===
* '''Volunteering''': after wrangling with CCC's Engelsystem last year, we've decided to rewrite it in <s>Rust</s>Python. This involves capturing a small amount of extra information from volunteers, co-ordinating shifts and reminding people when they're needed.
* '''Web app''': on the back-burner for a long time, we're building a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_web_app PWA] that brings volunteer shifts, talk schedules and event-wide notices into a single app that works on any modern browser.

=== Minor jobs ===
* '''Automated deployment''' for our services (Puppet)
* '''Pentesting''' and security review for our new volunteer system
* Replacing our '''mailing list provider''' (this doesn't need to be done before the 2018 event)

== Services we're already responsible for ==
* Ticketing and arrivals
* Selling merchandise (e.g. t-shirts)
* Call for Participation, talk review system and scheduling
* Authentication for separate systems (previously Engelsystem and the badge API)
* Wiki, badge wiki and archived wikis
* Map/tile server
* Monitoring (Grafana)

FAQ

__NOEDITSECTION__
{{link-banner}}

==General==

===Who are you?===
Electromagnetic Field is a non-profit event run entirely by a group of dedicated volunteers. EMF 2018 is the fourth major festival we've held in the UK, and a lot of us also help run other festivals in Germany and the Netherlands.

===Can I help out?===
EMF is organised entirely by volunteers. The event's success relies on attendees helping out to the extent they are willing.

More information on helping out during the event will appear on the [[Volunteering]] page in due course. If you are able to help plan and work before the event, check out the [[Teams]] page to see which teams need help.

===How accessible is EMF?===
We take accessibility very seriously, and we want to let as many people experience the fun of EMF. However, it is ultimately an event in the field, and we can't work miracles with our limited budget.

The site will be well-lit during the event, and we will aim to cover access to the stages with trackway. Travelling between stages may take some time. There will be accessible toilets and the current plan includes an accessible shower with a wheelchair ramp. We cannot guarantee 24/7 power, so it must not be relied on for medical needs, but the power infrastructure team will be on call through the night.

If you will be attending with a carer, they are entitled to a free ticket. Please [mailto:[email address removed] email us] once you've got your ticket so we can allocate your carer a ticket. Registered assistance dogs will be allowed.

If you have any other accessibility concerns, please [mailto:[email address removed] drop us an email].

===Is EMF family-friendly?===
Yes! We want EMF to be a great event for hackers of all ages.

In 2014 and 2016 we had licensed, free childcare provided by the award-winning [https://www.nipperbout.com/ Nipperbout], which was exceedingly well-received. We're aiming to provide this again, subject to sponsorship being secured (childcare is expensive!). There will be a designated family camping area, and a whole track of events and workshops for young people.

EMF has a comprehensive lost-child policy with DBS-checked staff available to help out.

There are a number of things to bear in mind:
* Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
* There will be dangerous things on site, but they will be clearly marked.
* Licensed alcohol sales are only for people of age 18 and over. Bar staff will ask for ID.

==Ticket Sales==
===What does the ticket price include?===
The ticket price includes admission to the event, admission to all of the talks, and most of the workshops. Some workshop organisers charge a fee in order to cover material costs, and places on most workshops will be limited.

Your ticket also includes:
* Tent pitch
* Water
* Showers & Toilets
* Fast internet
* Electricity

===Can I bring a caravan/camper van?===
Yes, we will have a dedicated camper van area on site, within the main fence, with 16A power provided. You'll need to buy an additional camper van ticket.

As we restrict vehicle movements on site for safety, you may not be able to enter or leave in a vehicle during the public opening of the event. Plan to arrive early and leave late.

We unfortunately can't provide water hookups or drainage/emptying facilities. You will not be able to empty your tank during the event.

===Do volunteers get a free ticket?===
Everyone who attends is expected to buy a ticket, including the founders and the core organisation team. So many people contribute to running EMF that it would be financially impossible to give everyone who helps out a free ticket, and unfair to draw a line past which volunteers receive free tickets.

The sole exception to this rule are first aiders, who must be trained to the high standards of our first aid team, and are expected to carry out three eight-hour shifts in return for a free ticket.

===The transaction reference you've provided isn't accepted by my bank!===
If you are having trouble entering the transaction reference into your online banking, just remove the hyphen. Some banks don't like it and don't tell you why.

==Planning your Attendance==
===Where is it? How can I get there?===
The EMF site is Eastnor Castle Deer Park, located just east of Ledbury, Herefordshire.

By train, we are close to Ledbury station which is around 3 hours from London Paddington and one hour from Birmingham New Street. We will be running a shuttle bus service from Ledbury station to the site.

The closest major airport is Birmingham.

Also see [[Travel]] for more details

===When can I arrive? When do I have to leave by?===
The site will open to ticket holders on Friday morning. All ticket holders must leave the site by noon (12pm) on Monday. Talks and workshops won't start until after midday on the Friday so there's plenty of time to arrive.

We will be there before and afterwards setting up and packing up. If you want to help with this, please let us know (by emailing [mailto:[email address removed] [email address removed]]) and we'll let you know when you can turn up. If we have not confirmed that we're expecting you before or after the event you will not be admitted to the site. Anyone arriving before Friday morning or staying beyond Monday afternoon will be expected to help with set-up and tear-down (both of which are mostly manual labour).

===When do things kick off?===
The talks and workshops will begin after lunch on Friday, although people will be setting up earlier in the day.

Talks and workshops run daily through to the evening, although we expect villages will be doing things late into the night!

===Will there be a bar?===
Yes, we'll be running a volunteer-staffed licensed bar selling beer and wine, as well as soft drinks and the hacker energy drink Club Mate. Far from the usual crap festival beer, we will be serving real ale from local breweries with all profits going towards making the next iteration of Electromagnetic Field more awesome.

The bar on-site opening hours are subject to licensing which will be finalised soon.

===Can I bring pets?===
Sorry, animals (except registered assistance animals) are not allowed.

===Can I smoke?===
Smoking (including vaping) is not allowed in any of the event tents or in the food/bar area. Elsewhere, please be considerate and very careful to extinguish your cigarettes to avoid setting the dry grass on fire. Please make sure cigarette butts are disposed of in rubbish bins rather than just thrown on the ground as the site is used by livestock at other times of the year, and it's a pain for the clean up crew to pick them up after the camp is over!

===Can I bring X/Y/Z?===
tl;dr Probably

Please let us know if it's going to be large/tall/use a lot of power/be noisy or anything else you think we should know. We don't plan on stopping people bringing the latest cool laser helmet for shark 3d printer arduino powered UAV thing, but we need to plan for it.

Things requiring special permission and may not be allowed: balloons, sky lanterns and the like.

===Can I bring/fly my drone?===
Yes - lots of attendees will be bringing drones and there will be a dedicated UAV flying field. It is against UK law to fly drones over the campsite unless you hold permission from the UK Civil Aviation Authority. EMF will be enforcing this rule, and for safety we will not allow UAVs to be flown over the site without prior arrangement.

===What if I don't like camping?===
Whilst we'd strongly recommend camping (so much happens late into the evening and it's a lot more fun) we realise not everyone wants to. There are several hotels in Ledbury.

===What are villages?===
[[Villages]] are areas of the campsite self-organised by attendees. The idea is that like-minded people get together, set up in an area of the campsite and enjoy each other's company. Villages are often set up around a topic or existing group (e.g. lock-picking or a hackspace). Some of them will run their own events parallel to the main schedule (for example last year one village hosted a weekend-long LAN party whilst another ran workshops on ring-making).

If you want to find out more, or see which villages are already proposed see the [[Villages| villages page]]

You don't need to join a village to attend.
