General Registration will re-open on Wednesday, May 01!
The Gathering of Friends has almost 800 Friends registered as of the close of early registration, and we expect that we will have to close registration before the May 31 deadline. When programs are full, they are full. Once the Gathering is full, we will not be able to add additional full-time registrants, and will have limited space for single day commuter registrants.
Our Gathering expectations state, “The Gathering is an event for registered attenders. The Gathering programs and facilities are restricted to registered attenders, except for use of the dining hall when cash sales are permitted by the host site. In no case is someone who has not registered for the Gathering permitted to stay overnight on campus.”
Haverford is a smaller, private campus, and will not have cash sales for non-registered guests to eat in the dining hall. We will sell tickets to commuters and day registrants for meals they wish to purchase. Pay-as-you-go meals are breakfast $10; lunch $13; dinner $16.
We will have tickets for the Evening Plenaries on Monday thru Thursday nights available for purchase. The tickets will be $25 per night, with a discounted rate of $10 per night for Haverford students. These tickets will allow anyone to attend the plenary only.
While in the past, Friends have been able to visit the bookstore without registering, we have suspended that as part of our COVID safety practices.
Attenders who want to connect with F/friends in the area who are not registered should make plans to do so off campus. Friends who are not registered will not be able to meet up on campus to visit attenders.
We ask that you understand that this is in the spirit of integrity, honoring our contract with the college, and preserving the safety of our community.
