As an  older member (since 87) in the SCA, being it here in the Loch or  
Stargate,
I have been to the U of H several times and was not  inpressed. I have seen
as you have, to drive far and no one to fight. No  one see's us at night 
there
whitch is what we want.  I remember  the FrendsWood a park there so beautyful
and why did we loose it ? There  mondans saw us and asked question, made new 
friends
and some new  members to "Our Dream".
I say let StarGate be StarGate and leave the  the Loch alone for our 
practice.
The less the drive, more will show  up.

Hey Mouse- Bors  - this has been beat to death, mostly by me  several years 
ago.  It seems that the knights of the Loch, Sig, Rurik,  Galen, Alexis ( 
apologies to anyone forgotten- Didn't mention HE Ulsted because 
he is alway good to show) no longer feel they have the responsibilities to  
show and train. The numbers of devoted fighters (myself included )have slowly  
dwindled to a precious few (myself included ).  Stargate no longer feels  
obligated to visit the Loch fighter practices and vice versa.  The only way  to 
offset this situation is to hold a combined fighter practice - where else- in  
Stargate, at night, on a closed campus., and that doesn't even insure a  
respectable turn out. Do you get new members interested? Sure -collage students  but 
no one else.  The Loch has tried to hold a once a month practice in a  park 
with refreshments but no one knows what park because it is always a  different 
one and after showing up with my armor three differnt times and  finding no 
one to play with - I gave up.  If you have a good solution on  how to fix the 
problem, I am willing to listen and work with you but I am not  sure if anyone 
else is.  I miss the practices at Randolph park on Sunday  afternoons- if not 
for the fighting at least for seeing some old friends.
