I have seen this time and time again. I will volunteer my time and money
and put together a central regional calendar. This calendar will have
the date, location and time for all groups meetings, fighter practices,
and guild meetings and any other thing that happens on a regular basis.
I will call all the seneschals of the central region or landed baron and
baroness and find out what will be transpiring for the next month. I
will then email this to whoever and mail a copy to the seneschals who do
not have email capability. This will provid a constant stream of
information of what group is doing what and when. We can then begin to
plan whatever together. Tell what you think? Suggestions? Comments?
