[Namron] Hospitaler

[R. Welch]

Not just the 'newbies'...
 
I've been in the SCA for years and there's a ton I still don't know. Every time I think I've gotten this thing figured out I make another mistake. Instead of someone saying, 'Hey, this is how to do it next time...' people either get loud and upset or don't bother trying to help correct me. A few years ago, I committed a very serious breach of SCA etiquette but didn't even know it until almost two years later! So not only did I insult alot of people, I never even got the chance to apologize for my stupidity. :) I ask every dumb question I have but sometimes we may need a bit more... :)
 
 
Sorry, just my two cents...

Having a hospitaler is great, but she is a busy person and as I can see, is often trying to organize several things at once.  The newbie doesn't know half the time what questions to ask.  Putting on garb does not a member of the SCA make.  I don't take a pad and pencil around to make a note of all the questions that I have when I have them.  Seriously, folks.  The most I learned in one day was the weekend I had a friend who was a long time member of the SCA squire me around and answer all the questions, stupid or not, that popped into my head at the time each situation arrived.  Each new member should be so blessed as to have such a patient individual around to do just that.  How hard would it be to organize a group to do that?  Heck, I didn't even know that addressing someone as "sir" could be a bad thing until I received an elbow in the side and a hissed "he's not a Knight, don't call him that!"  Wouldn't my mother be surpr! ised to hear that!  lol
