Clan Camp

This description is taken from the RuneFest 2011 lanyard, given to players upon entry to the venue:

"If you've spent time in the Clan Camp just north of Falador then you've a pretty good idea of what you'll find at RuneFest's Clan Camp - there's probably no better way to meet with fellow clan members, recruit for new blood or settle old scores.

The Sergeant at Arms, the Scribe and the Captain of the Guard will all be on hand to guide you and introduce you to their creators and the clan community's curators.

The clan tent is the perfect venue for clan meeting. Clan promotions and to show your rival clans who's boss.

And if you feel that no trip to the Clan Camp is complete without the exhilaration of launching a chicken or two. Well, we've got that covered too."
