[Sca-cooks] Fw: [Aten_Cooks] the idea of a Kingdom Cooks Guild

[Susan Fox-Davis]

> Well, it looks like we're getting organized here in Atenveldt. Do you folks have suggestions on maybe what not to do in setting up a guild, so we can avoid problems?

> 1) A ranking system..do you want one?

I'd advise against it, unless you want even more
rank-conscious grade school snobbery than to which
the SCA is already all to prone.

> 2) Do you want Officers of the Guild ?

Probably a good idea.  Someone needs to write
letters, organize events, etc.

> 3) How often do you want to meet?

Whenever two or more of you are gathered in
the name of research or yummyness!

> 4) Goals

Teaching.  Research resources.  Library.
Events.  Feasts.  Tourney lunches.

Food = Love!

Go ahead and forward this to Eden, the Aten cooks list or
anybody vaguely interested in what I have to say.
I've been involved with kingdom guilds before, some
are very Formal and others Not.  I prefer Not.
