>several "families" and or non-related people. These towns hold festivals 
>(events) periodically to encourage the exchange of ideas and promote common 
>experiences.

>Here's a suggestion of the types of people in a group and those who come to 
>festivals:
>
>Townspeople - those who participate in local official activity on a weekly 
>or monthly basis. These people maintain the community of the group and set 
>the tone of the grouup by working for the group and with each other on a 
>consistant basis.
>
>Country Dwellers - these are people whose main SCA related activity is 
>within their own
>household orgroup of friends. They participate in local offical activity 
>infrequently and occaisionlly contribute to the workings of the local 
>group.
>
>Visitors- people from different "towns" who mostly come to visit town 
>festivals.  They participate in the activities arranged for by the town 
>members and sometimes help out, but they are only present for festivals.
>
>Transients - those who feel their sole purpose in the SCA is to entertain 
>themselves. They have little or no interaction with the local group and 
>seldom participate in scheduled
>activities...
>
>I'm still trying to figure out terminolgy for those who participate 
>minimally on a local level but participate and take responsibility on a 
>Kingdom or Society level...got any ideas?

>I'd like to hear what you think about this model!
