[Sca-cooks]Feasts Per Year

[JP Coane]

Lady Samrah asked,

Q: About how many folks are in the Shire of the Iron Bog, Christopher, & 
where is it mundanely situated and how far do folks have to come to play 
with you?

A: Iron Bog is just outside of Philadelphia in New Jersey.

A: We have about 100 shire members with a core group of 15 or so people who 
regularly help with things plus a number of kingdom level officers who will 
come back to us when their terms are up.
A: Once in a great while we get someone from Canada (12-14 hour drive) but 
usually the people who attend Southern region (of the east kingdom)event are 
from the Southern region itself (max about 3.5 hour drive each way). If the 
New York city subway came this far south I think we would have a LOT more 
people, but sadly it does not.
