[Elfsea] Arlington Library Demo

[foofurjlr at aim.com]

Sir Tomas,
 
I agree that the SCA is so much more, however when speaking with the library I asked what they felt they needed in order to put on the demo. The answer was that the fighting got the best turnout and most talked about post demo. I have asked the higher up's if we should still do the demo if we don't get any fighters (currently we have one possibly two rapier fighters and one heavy) and it was felt that we should not do the demo if it didn't get the full support of the barony. However, if the general populace decides that it wants to do the demo with only A&S than that is something that should be discussed. It is also up to the library whether they still want to put it on with only A&S. 
 
As for the number of fighters, I requested 6 so we could give the library what they want and so that the fighters would have relief throughout the day.
 
I am no way saying that A&S is not as important as fighting...oh please don't think that. I am just expressing to everyone what the library expressed to me.

Lady Giliana, 
  I humbly apologize as I will be unable to assist but I am curious why the demo would need to be canceled if you don't get six fighters.  I have done fighting demos with only 2 fighters and I have been to successful demos that had absolutely no fighting at all.  Certainly fighting is fun to watch and a great way to draw attention, but our society is so much more. I am sure the great number of artisans who have volunteered would do a fantastic job of representing our organization even if you had no fighters present. I remain, 

ever in service,

Tomas

This is a last call for volunteers for the library demo being held on October 21st from noon to 5:00.
 
We have a great many A&S exhibitors but we are desperate for fighters. We need 6 fighters of rapier and heavy styles.
 
I need to know by Friday if you are going to attend as a fighter so I can tell the library whether or not we will be able to do the demo.
 
Thank you to all who have stepped up in support of this demo.
