Comments
  • Really well done.
  • Mighty quiet around here
  • More info in tidings
  • The site seemed more together this year; excellent to have exclusive site (directions need to be better)
  • Rm. 202 is hot, small and stuffy; there is also no blackboard
  • Very unhappy with this years web site. Hard to read, impossible to print out. Poorly organized, hard to register, directions poor, maybe a map will help.
  • Website needs improvement. Needs to be easier to read, need a map to find the place
  • Medieval games should be longer
  • Signs to site please, need map
  • Thought there was a broad choice of seminars
  • Directions difficult to use
  • Wonderful
  • Too many parallel classes
  • Nice location but out of the way if you don’t have a car
