[Ansteorra] Recruiting demo ideas

[L T]

Many different groups have helped with law enforcement riot training, first aid training, and things like that.

I know in Corpus that we did demos in conjunction with any of the Historical Ships that came in...including the reproductions of Columbus's fleet...

We picked up some members from those activities...

The movie theater demos and the museum demos tend to do well if we do good followup on the back end...

been so long....I just thought that it was so neat or nifty.....

Somewhere in California an SCA group was having a fighter practice and 
someone had mistakenly reported it as a riot.  Police showed up in full riot 
gear and when they found out what was really going on, they stuck around and 
had a little fun as well.  From what I remember the police were good at 
holding their ground and didn't give an inch.  :-)

If you think about it, the police/law enforcement has an honor code just as 
we do.  It would be possible to do something like this I am thinking and 
would be good publicity for not just us but for them and the city of Austin 
as well.
