That's the case... Unless a warranted Seneschal attends and reports up the 
chain-of-command, nothing "official" could be done. However, as long as any 
SCA attendees voice their concerns on weaponry, ceremony, dress and demeanor 
issues, we will not be part of the process.... We need to be part of any 
legislative "watch dog" group that would help protect the way we "play our 
game".

Thank you Tomonaga...!! I cannot attend this gathering and I was hoping that 
someone with an eye for detail and a level head would attend...!
