[Ansteorra] Event Etiquette

[Carl Chipman]

Artorius, I think a lot of the no-replies were (at least in my case) a
case of the not posting a "Me too" or "I agree" type e-mail.  In this
case, I do agree, and will endeavor to make sure that me and mine do as
much as possible to leave our site better than when we arrive.

Vivat and thank you for posting this Sir Burke! I find it interesting
that no one has yet replied to this post.  As a member of the clean-up
crew at Eldern XXV, I echo Sir Burke's words and add these of my own.
The condition of the bath-house restrooms was indeed deplorable.  These
were clearly marked as "out of order". It saddens and sickens me that
apparently *numerous* so-called "gentles" would disregard this fact.
These individuals are not the SCA that I grew up with. There was another
problem at Eldern XXV.  The site rules clearly stated that the site was
discreetly wet.  Alcoholic beverages in *period* containers only.  We
found beer cans on top of the trash cans in the men's room at the hall.
We found a rather large pile of beer, whiskey, etc. bottles on the table
under the open air pavillion.  Come on folks.  We can and *must* do
better.  The SCA has lost access to countless event sites because of
actions such as these.  I personally know of 3.   I hope all Ansteorrans
will take up Sir Burke's challenge.  I, for one, will.   I will do my
best to further educate the newcomers in our area.  And I will do
whatever is necessary to prevent the loss of another site and the
tarnishing of the SCA's good name due to ignorance and/or apathy such as
was demonstrated at Eldern XXV.  In service,Master Artorius ap Caradoc,
O.P.
