I like keeping the kids involved, let's raise up the next generation of the
SCA!Realistically, if you dump the kids in a saparate area, and feed them
kiddy-pap, they will not grow into enjoying the events. Most kids can enjoy the
pagentry and food of a well done feast.

Weel, now you are talking about a serious behavior modification prohject!
What happens if Duke Joe and his lady want their common scum buddies to sit with
them? The household structure of the SCA is such that they tend to want to sit
together. If you separate to OoP, then you break up their seating and decorating
arrangements. I have sat my whole household at an event in OoP[35 members and a
few guests, we took up a serious block of the feasthall for Marinus/Ty-re-don
Interbaronial 12th Night and won the table setup contrest as we had identical
feastgear and long runners of holly and ivy down the centers of the tables with
serving pieces and candles. Spiffy. I don't ever believe that you could separate
out thehats from their households.
