<DIV>I think it would be a glorious day when we could get a majority of
Namrons population in a single place to practice their "crafts" of
whatever sort. But that doesnt seem to happen currently for whatever
reason.</DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>The problem I've always heard is that it's a Catch
22. No one wants to come out to fighter practice (speaking about non
fighters) because there's nothing for them to do. And there's never
anything going on, because no one ever shows up. The only way I see to
break the cycle is to have other <I>planned</I> activities going on at the same
time and place. Children's boffer, bardic, an occasional picnic, something
to give people a reason to come out again.<BR><BR>That's my rambling thoughts on
the
