Annexe concernant les adhésions et les emplacements :

Le nombre maximal d'adhésions avec emplacement ne peut être fixé précisément, car il dépend de nombreux paramètres (clubs, couples, type de camping, dimensions des instruments, souhaits de regroupement, etc.) L'expérience montre que cette capacité est généralement atteinte aux alentours de 300 demandes, le nombre effectif d'emplacement varie également d'une année à l'autre suivant l'état du terrain.

Notre site internet mis à jour très régulièrement, parfois plusieurs fois par jour, vous informe du nombre d’adhésions, des instruments déclarés et vous alertera si l’attribution d’emplacement devient tendu ou critique. Consultez le !
Si vous n’avez pas besoin d’emplacement vous n’avez aucune contrainte de date (à part la clôture des dossiers!), vous pourrez toujours garer votre voiture vers la zone parking ou à l’extérieur du terrain.

En cas de doute vous pouvez contacter Jacqueline : 04 77 79 61 33

A votre arrivée :

Les emplacements sont attribués par les organisateurs et communiqués aux horaires d’ouverture de la tente accueil. La tente accueil est ouverte de 14h00 à 19h00 le premier jour, puis de 10h00 à 18h00 les autres jours. En cas d’arrivée en dehors de ces horaires, merci de laisser les véhicules à l’extérieur du terrain et de vous présenter sous la tente du snack.

Membership constitutes acceptance of this Charter

Membership:

The Rencontres Astronomiques du Printemps (RAP) are organised by the association of the same name, which operates under the French 1901 law governing non-profit associations. Membership of the association is compulsory in order to participate in the event.

You are not registering for an event; you are joining the association that organises the event (in the same way that you might join an astronomy club, for example).

Membership is therefore personal, final and non-refundable.

You are also encouraged to take an active part in the life of your association.

The membership fee does not correspond to the provision of any service; it is independent of your presence and the length of your stay.

People wishing to accompany members of the association, even if they do not practise astronomy themselves, are also required to join the association.

Minors must be accompanied by an adult. In the absence of a parent or legal guardian, they must have written parental authorisation.

Your membership gives you individual access to the site, as well as to the facilities and services made available to you. As such, you may use a space for your vehicle, tent and equipment.

Please note, however, that joining the association does not mean "reserving a pitch". A pitch will only be allocated according to your camping and/or equipment requirements and the availability at the time of your membership (see the appendix below).

Site:

On the site, wearing your badge visibly is compulsory.

Campfires, barbecues and generators are prohibited. Gas camping stoves are permitted except in extreme weather conditions (such as drought).

- Animals are not permitted, including inside motorhomes, caravans or other vehicles.

• In the Astrophotography area, please comply with its specific internal regulations.
• Laser pointers are not permitted, regardless of their colour.
• Participants are responsible for their own equipment.

Commercial or promotional activities:

As the RAP is not intended to be a commercial event, exhibitors and presenters are asked to:

• Join the association. This will give them access to all the services provided by the Rencontres.
• Set up their demonstration equipment in the space allocated to them, without making their pitch look like a commercial stand. (Signs and banners must not obstruct neighbouring observers, and their top edge must not be more than 1.5 m above the ground.)
• Not bring non-member customers onto the site for the collection or demonstration of equipment.
• Provide the subject or outline of any proposed conference before the application deadline.

End of the Charter

See, it wasn't too long!

But please take the time to read what follows, as it contains some very useful information and advice!

Appendix concerning memberships and pitches:

The maximum number of memberships with an allocated pitch cannot be determined precisely, as it depends on many factors (clubs, couples, type of camping, size of equipment, requests to be grouped together, etc.). Experience shows that this capacity is generally reached at around 300 requests. The actual number of available pitches also varies from year to year, depending on the condition of the site.

Our website, which is updated very regularly, sometimes several times a day, tells you the number of memberships, the equipment declared, and will alert you if the allocation of pitches becomes difficult or critical. Please check it regularly!

If you do not need a pitch, there is no date constraint (apart from the application deadline!). You will always be able to park your car in the parking area or outside the site.

If you have any doubts, you can contact Jacqueline: +33 (0)4 77 79 61 33

On arrival:

Pitches are allocated by the organisers and communicated during the opening hours of the reception tent. The reception tent is open from 2:00 pm to 7:00 pm on the first day, and from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm on the following days. If you arrive outside these hours, please leave your vehicle outside the site and report to the snack bar tent.
