[Ansteorra] Questions about groups that cover large geographi cal areas

[Addington, Debbie, A]

I am one of those that would be very interested in this.  The distance makes
it difficult for me to hold an office and to attend any of the guild
meetings except on very rare occasions.  Short of trying to start a group in
my own area, I don't know what would be an acceptable alternative.
