The catalogues for this event are supposed to be published this weekend. As soon as I get my hands on one, I'll update the Wastekeep site and post to this forum as well, so that you have all of the up-to-the-minute information!!
For now, though, the link supplied above gives a good idea of what to expect.

Class Description
Length: 8 hours
All day immersive training experience designed to provide a solid grounding of the Basic Fundamentals of Italian Rapier, using the single sword.

The main focus areas to be covered include: general body mechanics (physical fitness, actions in fencing, warm up), basics of movement (stance, advance and retreat, passata and lunge); forming and choosing guards; tempo and measure (time and distance); blade dynamics (leverage advantage, closing the line, disengage over and under); single tempo parry and riposte; and tactical use of feints and invitations to initiate offense.
If time permits we will also walk through some of the more advanced
techniques for the arte of defense, such as voids of the body, and using the left hand (hand/dagger/cape).

A dose of reality... Not meant for the faint of heart. This course will deal with some of the uglier aspects of what it means to be a Constable. This is designed to be an advanced course, intended for the more senior Constables that will take positions of leadership. Who really has what authority? What is required to be the Constable-in-Charge (CIC) at a major event? We will delve into how onw writes a constabulary plan and why that is important. We will get into when the substance really hits the fan. How do you handle it? How has it been handled in the past? What was learned? What should always be done? What should never be done?
Dealing with mundane authorities when there is a serious situation will be discussed. Investigations and monitoring of seriously dangerous individuals will be discussed, as well as how to efficiently have a problem person removed from the site.
Constabulary Manual is recommended for the above class and is available on line or through the Kingdom Stock Clerk.

No, but the 2 motels are within walking distance of the site and I think we're paying something like $35 per night.

As Melusine says, no camping, but if you need crash space and don't want to go the hotel route, you might want to contact the autocrat. Contact her by telephone (listed in copy above) as she doesn't do email very well. There may be some crash space available in the barony.

Thanks to all who came and made the Rapier Ithra a success once again! The feedback that I've gotten thus far is that the classes were very well received (Mistress Melusine's classes were a huge hit!) and that folks are already looking forward to next year.
A very special thank you to HL Amberly Sylvanus, Cadet to Dona Bridgett, for filling in with a fighting class at the last minute. You truly went above and beyond the call of duty, and the Barony is in your debt
So what classes would folks like to see for next year???
