[Ansteorra-archery] membership-QUESTION

NOT RENEWING SCA MEMBERSHIPS.

Interesting.  Most of Dragon Tower's members have not renewed their SCA 
membership.  Only 2-3 (out of about 30) renewed.  Most concentrate on 
renaissance events, a few concentrate on 3-D and field archery tournaments. 
Including myself.

It appears that the SCA national has been taken over by inexperienced 
lawyers.  Not knowing how to deal with new liability issues, they just keep 
passing more rules and regulations hoping that something will work.  Kingdom 
and local officers must interpret and enforce those rules.  The end result 
is a total mess.

When I asked our members why they were leaving SCA, most answered that it is 
no longer fun.  Too much red tape, too many arguments, too many people 
trying to be a boss by forcing everyone to obey their interpretation of the 
rules.  Renaissance events don't do that, they are just for fun.  That's the 
way we like it.

I will still attend one or two SCA events a year, big deal, it costs me $3 
extra.

Your situation is different, but wanted you to know you are not alone.
