Re: SCA at an evolutionary cross-roads (A discussion)
Well oops on that. I had a newspaper article done on my job recently and she was fascinated by my hobby and added the SCA info link in the article.
That's just silly. It's a great avenue to get the word out.

Re: SCA at an evolutionary cross-roads (A discussion)
It would be hard to make changes to a cliquish group if your ostracized.
It's easy to say that you should stand up. A little harder to do. You have to decide if you want to be at the end of someone making your Society life Hell.

Well it stinketh. You can't learn if you don't get a chance. A Shire up north not only welcomed my request to volunteer but invited me to a training meeting and made me feel like I'd been a part of the group since it was founded. It was SO awesome.

You should take this link back to the GC list. I think its something the members really need to be reading. Wonder if the link should be sent to the BoD. Although after I read that they weren't likely to read all the comments from the Census I'm quickly losing hope in them.

I concur on the mini event! This way you get to mingle with folks in a different way than you do at fighter practice and the group gets to know you and share the things they do in love in the SCA. That will in turn light the fire to go to other events. Plus Your populace will also enjoy the mini eve...

I think it's great that you try to contact them. When I first started I only went to fighter practice. It was because of the unknown factor at what happens at an event.

Thanks everyone. Exactly the information I was looking for. I did not realize the high importance of the core muscles. I'll pass this on to my trainer and physical therapist.

I have to be careful of my knees. I was going to use your treadmill info and transfer it to the gym bike and maybe my riding bike. Then when I get the muscles around my knees built up nice and strong move to jogging.

I bet they could easily address that part since our 'cup' area is set up different. I'll wait to see if he sees the further replies and see what he says about the chestical issues.
