[Northkeep] Where are YOU going?

greetings

yes , most places in the north and central regions usually have some kind of
archery at every event, even if only for fun .
many will also have thrown weapons .and usually some kind of arts and
sciences , some will have equestrian , and almost always there will be
merchants.

( most autocrats having figured out that there are a lot of people in the
sca that can't be out there beating on people with sticks and blades ,due to
health issues,lack of interest ,age , etc. who are still willing to learn
and use other marshal skills , and they are willing to add those activities
in order to get more people to attend their events. especially in these days
of $3.00 a gallon gasoline )  ( figuring minimum 1 -15 gal tank each way =
$90.00 , 1 feast @$10.00 & 1 site @$10.00 + assorted snacks and drinks$10.00
brings a close  event weekend cost to aprox. $120.00 for an individual ,
$150.00 for a couple w/o kids . and these are minimums ,add in a motel room
for those unable to camp in a tent,or climb stairs to get in cabins, etc ,
add in a longer trip, towing a trailer,blowing a tire,or other auto
emergency and the cost can rocket upwards quickly )

but as has been pointed out to me several times  "" going to events and wars
is a choice, if you really want to go , you can always find a way "
unfortunately with my health and finances getting back and forth to work,
paying bills, and eating regular meals are my normal choices, over playing a
game .
I may however be getting assistance soon as a friend just retired, and may
get to start playing again , so if all I have to worry about is doing the
driving , and site & hot dogs , I may get to hit more than just the local
( 6 hr drive ) stuff .

be safe, be happy, have fun
arthur
