[Elfsea] Highland games and Elfsea

[John Taylor]

Greeting all
   
  Since everyone is putting in their two cents I think I should too.   
   
   
  I think cutting down the number of events would cause more damage to Elfsea then good.  Yes we have on work on quality but that still can be done with the two events that Elfsea has and kingdom event will not help this problem . The barony needs the events to keep newcomers: moots, fighter practices and guild meetings will not keep the attention of newcomer forever.  They need to see fighting in tourneys, hear bardic done person and  witness the arts in display about every two to three months in their local group to reinforce their attention and that what events do but the active need to be at different times at the event.  
   
  That is were the quality of our event have decline, we have been place all the actives in event at the same time and then we have dead time for the rest of the event.  The dead time is what is hurting the events plus that we force fighters, bards, artist and newcomers to choice only one thing to do for the event and force them to miss the rest. In the dead time between the end of the actives and court is boring and if if the person has reason to to stay they leave and tell the people of their area that the event was no fun.
   
  If we are having trouble organzing people then we need to start organzing sooner then later. The e-mail about Highland games should have appear three mouths about along with calls to members of the group that work on it last year.  So people do not look at the list and perfer to be ask in person before they will help.  The list is to imperson too use to recruit help for a event or a demo.  Elfsea needs to work on this and get in touch with its people more personally
   
  This is the view of a lone squire, I have been in the SCA for a long time and seen some of the great events of Elfsea and have been watching the problems grow but it can work on but slowly at first.  I will be will to help with taking a office but I have no clue to how to put in a bid.
