NK - Re: northern region castle list

[Rebecca M. Heydon]

Your enthusiasm is to be commended....

A specific design has been approved by the Boy Scout Council and plans are,
indeed, floating around.  In approving those plans, legal and safety
concerns for the Scouts and the SCA were considered before a final design
was approved.  Changing the design starts the bureaucracy all over again
and once again, the project will be put on hold.

The Barony of Northkeep spent quite a lot of time thinking about designs
and whatnot and HE Thorgrim worked with others (Lord Merrik, Lord Piotr,
Laird Ian to name a few) in creating those plans.  What has prevented the
project from getting off the drawing board is getting the necessary
materials to the Will Rogers site.  I am somewhat troubled that it seems
that those plans are now to be thrown out the window and a new design
created so that it's like the one at Gulf Wars.  A great many people
agonized over those plans and it seems, to me, a great disservice in
chucking all that effort out the window.  It seems to me that all of this
renewed enthusiasm might best be used in continuing the project that was
already started rather than starting over.

I guess I am somewhat bristly about this and my apologies.  As I said, a
fair number of individuals have already put a great amount of effort into
this project and whereas I am thrilled the castle may become a reality, I
don't believe duplicating our efforts and starting over is the way to do so.

In service,

Rowan
