Welcome Brother! Join Peter Lebeck for our Annual Fall Doin's, September 27th through 29th, 2013, at the Rankin Ranch, Kern County, California. You've landed on the internet version of our Doin's flyer, plus a few other things that we hope will entice you to Clamp with us at one of the most historic spot in Kerm County and all of Southern California. As you scroll down this page you'll find everything you'll need to know and to sign-up for this very special weekend. Download PXL's Infallible Fillable Flyer. Get the skinny on the rub, schedule, directions, Hangin' and "Hole's Do's and Donuts." We even have a way for you to register and pay online.

And if that's not enough convincing, use the blue links at the top of this page to view our Humbug's personal invitation, to learn about Fort Tejon, and to scope out the weekend's plaquing activities. And if you want to share a ride, check out Muleskinner's Clamper-wide Carpooling Site or post to Peter's Board to see if someone in your area is also coming our way.

Preregister and Save $10!

Register for Our Fall 2013 Doin's.

Register and prepay by Friday, September 20, 2013, and your cost is only $50 per Redshirts and $70 per PBC. Snail Mail your application or email us your completed fillable flyer. Either way we'll accept your dust by way of a check or Paypal payment, just make sure you're all in before the deadline. We don't care if you're Sid, an XNGH or Joe's dog peed on your Procs -- no exceptions. It's $10 more at the gate.

ECV Brothers who are on Active Military Duty who preregister by September 20th get in free. Just mention it on your registration form and make sure to bring proof, like a copy of an official email showing your current orders, along with your military ID.

All Chapter Hawkers are welcome to ply their goods. But be prepared to do some trading.

A waiver form must be submitted for each PBC. Redshirts only need to submit a waiver if we don't already have one on file with PXL. These waivers are an ECV wide policy imposed by Grand Council to help keep E Clampus Vitus in existence so click here to read the form. And don't forget to preregister! It keeps us from having to jack up the price of our doin's, but if your jackass happens to get sick, just call or email our Recorder before the start of the weekend, and he'll make sure you're comped for next time.

Mail your application and rub to: Peter Lebeck -- E Clampus Vitus, Box 384, Bakersfield, CA 93302.

PBC Handout and Instructions!

 

Special PBC Requirements

 

ALL SPONSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE FOLLOWING:

Our Hangman.

PBCs must be delivered to the Hangman upon entering the Clampsite. Furthmore all PBCs and their sponsors in Clamp on Friday evening must report promptly to the bar at 7:38, for essential instructions from the Humbug and his functionaries. Any infirmities that might affect your PBC's ability to do moderately physical tasks MUST be disclosed with your registration. Vertigo, bad knees, bad ticker, claustrophobia, all that stuff counts. No Exceptions! Our initiation is not an endurance test! PBCs with physical limitations will be accommodated, but a failure to disclose endangers the health of your PBC and is not appreciated by anyone.

ALL PBCs must have a bribe and a five minute historical presentation for our Board of Inquiry. Also PBCs may not wear RED until after completing their sacred ordeal. Finally, membership is open only to men 21 or older with good attitudes. These rules provide for the safety and fair treatment of your friend. As his sponsor it is your responsibility to make sure that he complies.

 

ALL PBCs ARE ADVISED:

Our Hangman.

That from the time of their arrival all PBCs are guests of the Brothers of Peter Lebeck, ECV and will be under the protection and control of our Hangman & his Vigilantes. As is our custom at PXL, PBCs may fraternize with the Brethren on Friday but must show good attitude and submit to the directions of the Hangman from the time of their arrival, including being of service when so instructed by our Hangman. By order of the Humbug, all PBCs and their sponsors in Clamp on Friday evening must report promptly to the bar for instructions at 7:38, no exceptions!

All PBCs in Clamp on Saturday Morning must report to the Cookshack at 6 a.m. for Kitchen Duty on pain of foregoing initiation. Last call for PBCs is 8:31 a.m. Saturday morning. PBCs must be knowledgeable of all educational materials provided to them, especially the Handbook, be prepared to stand and deliver before our Board of Inquiry, and be sober throughout the initiation. No Exceptions!

The PXL PBC Handbook should be downloaded Here!

PXL adheres to all Grand Council Rules which will be strictly enforced. It will be a clean, but memorable initiation as befits our Honorable Order.
