[Bryn-gwlad] 'scuse me while I get on this soapbox

"Not trying to be rude but yall are getting OLD"

 

You may not have been trying, but you succeeded. I've seen a lot of
people in their 50's & 60's do a lot of good in the SCA. Btw, invest in
a spell checker.

I agree that we need to not just recruit but recuit young. What was the
average age in the sca 30 years ago? What is it today? Not trying to be
rude but yall are getting OLD, we need constant young people so that the
sca doesn't die when the baby boomers do. The sca in gernal, not just
our barony needs to be recruiting people in their early twenties now so
that in a few years they can start moving into leadership positions.
When we recruit someone in their 40s or 50s it doesn't do us a lot of
good. To accomplish this we need our current younger member to be the
ones recuiting so that we don't scare away possible members by showing
to much grey hair and wrinkles. The danger isn't today but if we don't
start now it may be to late in 10 years.
