ANST - Kingdom membership

[gptaylor]

Regarding Increasing membership and money issues...

One thing that I've seen that I think could promote membership, and is something
of an "anti-non-member surcharge", is to make up some sort of certificate that
will allow a prospective new member to daytrip their first event for free.
People who see a small demo might have no idea of what an SCA event is really
like.  Such a certificate, provided at the demo, can give them information about
the SCA, what they need to bring to an event, contact info about how to borrow
garb, directions to the event, etc.  They can turn it in at gate and gain
admittance, at which time the hospitaler can be contacted to let him/her know
about the person being there, allowing her/him to help coordinate folks for the
newby to meet, etc.  This, of course, works best at sites where the group isn't
charged for the number of day tripping folks on site, e.g. when it's free for
the group- it wouldn't cover feast in non-rich groups.
