<BR>Ah, this is sad indeed... the archery youths are a fine bunch and *should* have some activities. Lady Meriyan, if you should choose to assist in rectifying this problem by helping set something up, I would be delighted to help you in whatever way I can (not an archery marshall though). Do let me know how I can assist you in this. Lady Mairi Beswicke, called Rua<BR>

<DIV>The reason children's activities have been canceled is because the person running them has had mundane problems. We are trying to resolve this issue. It's not that we are trying to exclude the kid, were just having technical difficulties. My daughters birthday party was supposed to happen at children's activities but now we will have to do something else. We will let you all know when we can. Hopefully we will be able to do something for the kids. </DIV>

<DIV>Okay I may get a bit snippy---but I am erked!!!! I may get a bit defensive.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SCA is a family oriented, right? Defender is to be a big celebration with family and Friends.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But we have no time for the children-- is this what I am understanding.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>First no children's archery --- and not even being allowed to shoot with the adults.</DIV>
<DIV> Yes it is a coveted title - but I do believe we have a couple of minors who have won "adult" titles.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Now no children's activities at all.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I realize there will be other events--- but I know my children have been looking forward to this event for a while. That is one thing about Elfsea is that children were never a burden. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am very disappointed with the handling of all this---are children even welcomed?</DIV>
