[Namron] was Guild of Camillus de Lellis now Accessible sites

[Jennifer Jackson]

I have been told that the Lake Murray  site is just not big enough to 
accommodate the needs of Protectorate.  There is a lot that goes into 
choosing a site, and sometimes the best of sites are just not available for 
one reason or another.  I know from my search for a site to include with my 
bid for Kingdom A&S that it can be very frustrating.

During that search for a site, I did suggest a site near McAlester to the 
Barony.  I was told that it was to far away, and not in the Barony's zip 
codes.  Distance is something we have to consider.  Not just because of the 
inconvenience  of getting the people to the event, but of getting all of the 
Barony's stuff to the site.  I think we sometimes all but empty the shed.
