NR - Re: northern region castle list

[Carl Chipman]

Rowan, plans that are floating around are of no use.  Plans that people have
in their hands that list exact supplies, lengths etc ARE.

Ragnar from our group almost went to buy 30 telephone poles last weekend.
We talked him out of it with "what if those poles are unusable, what are you
going to do with 30 telelphone poles in your back yard?"  Once people can
know whats exactly available, work can start... people want to do it, but no
one knows exactly is needed.

Does anyone have the Boy-Scout approved plans? the Boy Scounts?

if we can look at those, we can determine THEN whether to keep that plan.
However, if we can't find those plans, we can't keep those plans.

I don't want to chuck the effort of anybody, I just want the castle people
were telling me about when I joined the sca 2 1/2 years ago... I tired of
driving to mississippi for a castle battle...

hugs, JP
