>First, need to state this up front - email is bad format to conveying also 
>anything, since it does not allow for the normal means that we all used in 
>exchanging ideas and thoughts.

>I am not upset in the least with all the information and feedback 
>concerning titles and which House or Unit that individual(s) should have or 
>are with. I have started a file to maintained this information for future 
>postings.

>Their names that I recorded was what they themselves supplied to me. If the 
>individual(s) do not stated their titles or state what House or Unit they 
>members of. If the individual(s) do not state up front this, then I go with 
>what I am either told or what they wrote down.

>In reply to Lady Gertia della Maira, Thank You for the suggestion about 
>using a "Sign In" sheet or roister. And yes, having one would not work all 
>the time. This is based upon my past experience as a Scuba Instructor for 
>almost 10 years in my past.
>
>The last reason for not doing a "Sign In" Sheet so is more of personal 
>nature, meaning taking the time and opportunity to greet each individual 
>and learn their names and make them feel welcome. This is more important 
>than anything else, at least for me. Sometimes it is not possible for me do 
>so each and everytime, which is what happen this past Sunday.
>
>This is what I was attempting to accomplish this past Sunday (not in order 
>as they happen):
>Inspect - ~90 combat arrows, 3 recurves, and 1 crossbow.
>Recording attendance
>Greeting people, whether they were in the SCA or just walking by
>Individual fights, which means I recording both fighters and their weapons 
>and shields.
>Assisting in getting people into armor
>Advising in how to build armor and padded a helm
>Getting into armor so that I could take the field as one of the combat 
>archers
>Getting an update on the battlefield and inputting combat archery 
>requirements
>Setting up the shade pavilion - Giles and Nikko assisted at the beginning 
>of practice
>
>I have fun in doing these reports and greeting people and talking about the 
>activities that can be found in the SCA. I am always learning something new 
>and interesting along the way as well.
