Annual Gathers:
Wintering Gather: (The return of the Caravans to Cloudhaven)
OOC: Begins on the first of September, ends on October first
IC: Begins as soon as the second Caravan returns to the Hold, and lasts for one week, unless notified that the third will arrive, at which point it ends one week after the third Caravan arrives home. There are a lot of good sales during the Wintering Gather.
Farewell Gather: (the leaving of the Caravans from Cloudhaven)
OOC: Begins on the 1st of March and ends on April first
IC: Begins one week prior to the departure of the Caravans, ending when the Caravans leave. There are a lot of good sales during the Wintering Gather.
The Runner Show: (An event where breeders from around Pern bring their runners in for shows and runner "transactions" -- such as stud fees and the actual sale of runners)
OOC: Begins on the first Friday of August, ending on the third Friday of August.
IC: Lasts one week, the second week of the 8th month, and offers characters the opportunity to really play their runners, as well as purchase runners for a considerably lower price than normal.

On-Going "Events":
The Marketplace: The market place is much like its own gather, however there is no dancing and singing, and there aren't food stalls to be found. Crafters sell their wares, and general laborers will often bother people in the avenues to see if anyone needs their hard work.
