[Ansteorra] Newcomer Badges & Tagging

[Charlie Durbin]

Point taken. Though I hardly see how for instance a small piece of black
leather with a key stamped in it says "I am the hospitaler" but I do
understand where you are coming from and how others might be confused.
I'm just not fond of the idea of adding something new that isn't implemented
SCA-wide when we have so many great things in place already that just need a
better focus. I did add in my post though that the heightened awareness of
the Hospitaler and a Newcomer area at event sites would be a good idea.

Good Gentles:
 
While I appreciate your ideas regarding badges or tokens for newcomers, I am
not comfortable using the Hospitaler's symbol as a badge or token for
newcomers to keep.  This symbol is used by the local and
regional Hospitalers currently serving the Kingdom in that role, and I think
it would be as confusing to everyone as it would be for people taken care of
by the Chiurgeons to be given a badge of their symbol to wear for being a
"good patient".  The symbol of office is used to identify those serving that
role -- not those who have benefited from it.
 
If another newcomer "symbol" is decided upon that does not conflict with any
other group or office, I will consider the badge issue again.
 
YIS,
 
Countess Elizabeth Seale
Kingdom Hospitaler
