SR - srfp respp to sir dieterich

[Gary Koehler]

greetings one and all!!!!
after reading Sir Dieterrich's post I felt that I must put in my 2 cents worth.so here is  the first cent:

SRFP WAS GREAT! A the weather has been too hot to really do much eventing it was a nice easy going function with lots to watch and participate in.The shire of Tempio did a spectacular job in it's hosting of the practice...there were several people I hadn't ever seen before, some I haven't seen in a long time and a few I had seen only a week ago.Although I didn't get to attend any of the classes due to driving in late from Dallas. I did catch the tail end of some great fighting and some good food. I know of at least  1 family who was present that had never seen the SCA or what we do and they really had a good time..(one of gary's co-workers and her kids) .I learned alot just in the short time that i was there as well...i will admit i always try to learn something even if i don't really want to...on this day I learned how to do basic drumming, baby steps to fighting heavy, and that Baroness Suzanne can definately teach me a thing or 2 about belly dancing..like i don't know if my body could really do all of that*grin*
But it was really great ..lots of fun.. and lots of learning with a late day cool breeze to make things pleasant.
    Now for the 2nd cent..the possibility of middleford picking up the next SRFP..good question and I can only hope that it has a positive answer.. I would love to have it in middleford//but then again it really makes no difference because either way it's a 30 minute trip for...but since they have such a good challenge maker amidst them*grins at Gilli* I would hope that they can rise to them as well as they give them..and I also  would like to see each and every group who hosts a SRFP would put as much thought and effort as the Sire of Tempio did... have classes..have music...have fighting...have FOOD(and you don't have to provide...have a potluck with each family bringing it's own meat like we had this last week it was really good!!), but must of all HAVE FUN..LIVE THE DREAM .. AND TEACH OTHERS HOW BETTER TO FOLLOW THEIRS..
my 2 cents
