All crew are encouraged to take and wear one shirt per year. Once they're on site, t-shirts are available from GOD -- use the crew entrance.

			Once you are flagged as crew in the PD database, there is a section in "Edit Account Details" to enter your preferred style and size of t-shirt. Please fill this out so we can order the right t-shirts!

			If you join the crew during a year, ask GOD if there are any t-shirts remaining.

	When you ~~first~~ arrive on-site, ~~the gate crew will direct you to where crew are camping – you should proceed there and ensure that~~ your own ~~personal~~ shelter and sleeping arrangements are ~~seen~~ to~~, before checking-in at GOD~~. Once ~~you get to GOD~~, ~~we will give~~ you ~~your meal~~-~~tickets~~ and you ~~can~~ then ~~join your head of department for duty assignments~~.		When you arrive on site, your first job is sorting out your own shelter and sleeping arrangements. If you are arriving early, ask any member of crew for directions to where you should be pitching. Once the Gate and Traffic teams are up and running, they'll direct you. The out-of-character camping area is typically divided into sections: player camping and crew camping. Crew camping is exclusively for the use of crew; players are not permitted to camp there. If you're camping with friends or family who are players, then it is better to camp with them in the player area.

Once you are set up, check in with your team leader to let them know you're on site. If you're not sure where to find your team leader, ask GOD or any radio holder to help you track them down.

	~~Crew have available~~ to them ~~a stash of crew mattresses, which are located in one of the old portacabins~~. You ~~are not guaranteed to~~ be able to ~~use one - they~~ are ~~limited numbers~~ available on ~~a first-come, first-served basis to all crew~~. ~~'''~~If you ~~take a~~ crew ~~mattress then you must ensure you return it at the end of the event~~.~~'''~~		A few days before the event, you should receive an e-mail telling you how to collect your meal tickets and character pack -- depending on your team, you might need to pick them up from your team leader or from GOD. You will be able to pick up your meal tickets before dinner on Thursday, wherever you're getting them from. Crew character packs are not available to collect until GOD opens for player pack handout, usually on Thursday evening.

			If you are collecting either from GOD, use [https://www.profounddecisions.co.uk/empire-wiki/GOD#Info_for_crew the crew entrance].
