Actually there are three groups of the ECS around the Dallas area. One in Dallas,
one in Denton, and one in Commerce. From the dealings with some of the members of
our group they have been very friendly. In fact one of the ladies from our Shire,
HL Euphemia, has made most of the garb for the Commerce group. I haven't met any
of them personally but many members of Black Oak Keep have a very good working
relationship with them. The core of the Dallas group are current SCA'ers as well.

I think perhaps you may have run into a bad group. Not unlike some people's first
encounter with some SCA groups that have been discussed in the past.

Yers,

Gunthar
