>establishing such a group.   Experienced people who live >outside of Texas,
>but might just want to give advice are welcome to write in to me

>Ideally what I would like to have is a group centered around the last
>half of  the 13th century, with the purpose of educating the members >and
>others about life in the 13th century.   I would like the level >of
>authenticity to eventually be on par with similar European and >American
>groups (e.g. . Circa: 1265, Confrérie de la Malemort, Compagnia de Peon,
>Companie de St. George, De Liebaart 1302, and so on).  Members should have
>a year or so to put their basic kit >together.  I'm looking at having
>hopefully 2-4 events per year.

>Some questions still need to be asked, such as where to set it - Two
>ideas are in England or in the Holy Land.  The advantage to England >is
>that most works on the subject are in English.  The advantage to >the Holy
>land is that it fits those nice Texas summers much better.  Other questions
>include a name for the group, what IS the basic kit, things like that.  I'm
>really looking for feedback from the people >who actually want to take
>part, and not just set up a group that no >one's interested in.

>I'm asking that you please feel free to pass this along to other >people or
>discussion lists (for example the various southern and >central Ansteorran
>lists, the Amtgard list, and so on) since I >understand that there may be
