<div><font face="Times New Roman">I would like to make a statement strictly as
an individual and a long time member of the Barony of Raven's Fort.
</font></div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman"></font> </div>
<div><font face="Times New Roman">I feel that the land agent over stepped reason
when making up his arbitrary rules when it comes to on site taverns. The
rules seem to be directed at specific individuals for personal reasons, rather
than to correct any problems that has arisen in the past or any breach of
SCA or mundane law or any request that the land owners themselves
have made. Of course, we have no way to know the desires of the land
owners since the SCA has never been allowed to deal directly with the land
owners. The imbalance of the site rule policy is notably
demonstrated by the fact that in the same period of time: the old Raven's
Fort Tavern was forcibly evicted (for fabricated infractions) by the land
agent, the current site rules were issued by the land agent and the on site
"Mead Hall" was built by the land agent. I will not presume to
suggest a solution to this dilemma of secrecy and whim. Perhaps the
officers of the Barony can facilitate a return to a fair
site policy that embraces the true spirit of our society. </font></div>

<div><font face="Times New Roman">I planned to give the historian and the

request / require from our members running the competitions is a
COMPLETE SCA name and SCA home area of at least the winners. It
may not hurt to get some kind of contact number as well. Phone, email,
street address, any number they think that they might have a year from
now. It would sure make things easier.</font></div>
