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

[Lisa McGrath]

I was 30 plus when the SCA found me and I still have a lot to do and learn 
in the the SCA. So I'd think twice be for I started kicking out the OLD peeps.

With age comes wisdom ( and great stories ). MOST 20 somethings don't have YET. If what you mean is you think we need younger members then I ask 
you what are you doing to change that?

  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.
