What is done is done, the BOD has spoken and there is little chance to get
them to change their mind. The issues, whatever they were, made it all the
way up the chain of command to the BOD, which is like a legal case going
before the Supreme court. All appeals have been used up, the verdict has
been made.
Many of you feel hurt and I empathize with you but I think those of you who
are venting again about these issues might want to take a few deep breaths
and then rethink all this ranting. For those people of Ansteorra who were
affected by the changes in the west try looking at what your situation
really is...You don't have to fill out reports, you don't have to attend a
lot of boring meetings, you don't have to drive 2-14 hours to an event
unless you want to, you get to get together with your friends and neighbors
and enjoy the SCA together free of a lot of paperwork, I don't know about
the rest of you but that sounds pretty good to me.
How you got here may leave a some resentment but for now if I were you I
would be enjoying the freedom to have a revel or an off calender event in
just the company of my friends. If you can succeed at slowly building and
growing from that small start you may be able to rebuild a local group.
Start with the basics: having fun, learning and playing together the rest
will follow. If it doesn't hey at least you can have a good time trying.
This approach will provide you with a lot more satisfaction and a lot more
support than railing against the past. Please I emplore you stop beating
this horse and try a new avenue to meet the end goal you appear to be
seeking which is to return to having an official local SCA group.
Kindly,
Ian Dun Gillan
Baron of Northkeep
