[Ansteorra] Children in the Sca

[Stefan li Rous]

Actually it has been possible to sign up for SCA membership at various  
larger events, including Pennsic, I believe.

Part of the problem is that having this creates a lot more, non- 
centralized paperwork, including money that needs to be tracked and  
handled. As online money transfers including credit cards become  
easier to do, this type of thing becomes more and more feasible.

I can remember having to make sure you had plenty of cash on hand when  
you went to a big event such as Gulf Wars or Pennsic, because it was  
difficult to get more. The local town might, if you were lucky, have  
an ATM, but probably not. Now most nearby towns have multiple ATMs,  
they are even available at some event sites and many (most?) merchants  
take credit cards. So things are changing.
