   While this is not a huge delay and it can protect us from spammers I was
thinking about removing this restriction.

   Any strong opinions either way?

As the current owner/moderator of SCA-West I can tell you that leaving
that restriction on is a good thing.  Admittedly I'm generally close
enough to a system on regular enough basis that nobody has to wait for
long to be approved for the list and it stops SPAMMER's well.  Once a
yahoo list gets on the radar for a SPAMMER they just don't let up.

And since the traffic here isn't really 'critical' in terms of the
information being posted here I don't see the trade off really worth it.

I'd rather you didn't. I don't mind spam when I'm camping, but I prefer to keep it out of my inbox.

Folks who are joining the guild list will know they need to give a little time for approval, and hopefully they're in it for the long haul, so the wait shouldn't be a deal-breaker.

My two pence,
Brendan

Greetings,

Due to harassing phone calls from a cowardly individual who hides behind a
blocked phone number I have had to change my phone number and upgrade my phone. 
From now on even blocked numbers will be logged with my provider to avoid this
type of harassment in the future.
My new number will be 907-444-5707

Since we did not have one last year, I'd like to see one happen this year.  Info
on 12th Night has been spotty this year so I will drop the autocrat a note and
ask about Guild tables and their location.

Volunteers on bringing items for display as well as spending time with the
table?

It would be GREAT to have the new, official device on something we could use as
part of our display.  Has anyone made one for use?  Or would anyone like to
volunteer.

Brigit

Wondering if anyone has done a banner or flag with the new Guild device on it? 
Would be nice to have it for the display.

Brigit

We've been given a table for 12th Night to display Guild information and items
of interest to fencing.

Now I need items!

Books, especially manuscripts of historical masters, photos (be sure to label
yours on the backs), swords, doublets and other gear--whatever will make it look
interesting.

I also need volunteers.  I'm thinking to only man the table for perhaps three or
four hours tops--and am looking for folks who wouldn't mind sitting the table
for no more than an hour at a time.  I know we all have committments at this
event.

There will also be an area set aside for actual fencing.  Not sure who the RMiC
is for this--anyone?  After the fencing, the area will be used for a Memorial
for Crimson.

Thanks!

Brigit the Chaste

Nyteshaed--

When is the Guild meeting at 12th NIght planned for and where?  The autocrat has
told me a room is being set aside for fencing--and then for a couple of hours
that room will be used for Crimson's Memorial (probably 6 or 7ish--stay
tuned)--will we be meeting in there earlier? I'm hoping it doesnt happen at the
same time as Crimson's Memorial.

What are the plans?

Brigit
