I need 3-5 fighter's who can't fight currently or former fighters for a new initiative I want to try at the 100 Minutes war.

You don't have to be a marshal, but cool if you are.

Melee experience would be very helpful.

Please IM me, email me, or text me.

gratitude is on my mind.

While much of the SCA world was swimming at Pennsic. we here in Rusted Woodlands were doing a SCA demo at the Township of Washington Demo at the towns library.

It was "Small SCA" at it's best. Branding, Marketing the SCA for people. Notice I did not say, "Recruiting" we don't recruit. Anyone who thinks we do is mistaken.

Branding and Marketing

Branding - we are establishing in people's minds the actuality of the SCA. It's possibility, attainability, and proximity to people as a activity. The scope, the fun, the community. Images on a computer screen gives no idea of the possibilities.

Marketing - we're pitching inclusion into a community and a world that can fulfill them and their thoughts of what's possible, most notably fun. We pitch the fun of the SCA, the entertainment value, and how close it is to you.

Small SCA. Most of you are at Pennsic, the grandest of events in our game. it's not what sustains the SCA. What sustains the SCA is doing what you love. Yes Pennsic is the biggest place, but it's only 2 weeks a year. events in kingdom are what the SCA is in part. local events improve the accessibility. Today's economic realities push people who love our game into a void of involvement. Many can't afford to drop a $100 bucks or losing work hours to go to a weekend event. That's the harsh reality of the world right now.
Things may get better, but that doesn't help you right now.

My challenge to you scadians is to ponder the case for "Small SCA"
be it a weekday practice, a local event, an activities circle, we need to do this to save this for all of us.

Lets make the SCA accessible to all. Let's push small SCA

The Shire of Rusted Woodlands, The Kingdom of the East, and the SCA could use a little help toward the marketing and branding ourselves.

We have a unique opportunity to show what we do at the RW new practice site.

We could use a presenter to engage people in talking about the SCA and what were doing.

We got a new person last night, and we could easily continue that trend.

So if you're a people person, with strong crowd facing skills and are available on a Monday night for 1 hour, we can use your help.

PM if you're inclined and have questions.

Thanks,

T

Rusted Woodlands lent out our Lists for Fencing championships.

We need them back, but unfortunately I misplaced the email.

you may or may not know, but Hurricane Ida has done a job on the Church.
It's going to need serious clean up and perhaps damage repair.
the church is currently undergoing assessments.
I'm in the loop, and we may need a work crew to haul out wet rugs, and stuff.
It will probably happen in the next couple of days with short notice.
If you can help please, please do.
Stay tuned.
