At the risk of kicking a hornet's nest, can you tell us why this change?
Is it literally a monetary concern? Complaints about the overuse of
non-medieval carts? Not enough volunteers to man the carts for such
pick-ups? Has the number of handicapped folks at Pennsic taken a
sudden leap upward? Complaints about joy-riding royals finally causing
some changes?
The use of carts has been controversial since I joined the SCA 20+
years ago, so I'm curious what has changed?
Thanks,
Stefan
