[Namron] Help Name Our Med fair Encampment

[Lord Orlando Di Gilead]

Perhaps, instead of the acronym, they should list "Society for Creative
Anachronism" in full OR perhaps something like "The modern middle ages
exhibit"...
Namron and Ansteora monikers seems quite attractive to us in the SCA but for
new comers it holds little meaning and may do little to attrack recruits.
