ANST - Ranting over Gulf War dates and Business practices

[harry billings]

If I were a land owner and rented it out and gave ten months notice about
changing the date I feel that should be plenty. If you don't like it look
for some thing else. And I will try to find other uses for my land. There
are not that meany sites around and there are other groups that could use my
site.

>But you are wrong.  The people discussing this are not talking about the
>SCA event staff.  They are commenting on the fact that the event SITE
>owners are asking the SCA to change the dates for their convenience.  If
>you rent a place for a certain set of dates shouldn't you be obligated to
>have the site available on those dates?  Our expectations were high because
>we were told that the dates were set - in a normal event the agreement is
>reached and contracts are signed before the dates are announced.
