ES - [Fwd: SCA in the news]

[Richard Threlkeld]

Better public relations. The council believed that the SCA group
knew they had underestimated the attendance and declared a smaller
number to avoid the regulations on larger events. This is probably
not true. They should have talked with the local authorities and
established some raport. If they had, there would be less suspicion.

We need to talk to the local authorities (city council, police, fire)
in Canton and other event sites to establish a dialogue. Invite them
to observe the parts of the event with great public appeal (tournaments,
courts, etc.) If they feel they are a part of the event, then they are
likely to defend us rather than criticize us.

It sounds like the autocrats didn't do a very good job of planning this
event.  What can we learn from this story?

- ask yourself "What happens if twice as many people show up as expected?"
- Make sure the local community knows about major events
- What else?
