Greetings from the BMDL Webminister,<br><br>There seems to be some confusion over what information is stated on the web site. For the sake of providing factual information I'd like to point out the following.<br><br>* The Events & Demos page, which contains links to all of the local event announcements, already contains the following text:
<br><br>Membership in the Society for Creative Anachronism is
not required
to attend SCA events. Our only requirements are that you
must behave as a noble and honorable lord or lady, you must pay the
entrance fee as appropriate, and you must wear garb of medieval or
renaissance style. For more information, and suggestions on preparing
for an SCA event, see <a href="http://scademo.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">The
Online SCA Demo</a>, or contact our Chatelaine, Helewys Spynnere (Jill Zofchak).<br><br>* The Society-mandated disclaimer at the bottom of the web page contains the following text:<br><br><font size="-1">For information on using
photographs, articles, or artwork from this website, please contact the
web minister at webminister(at)debatablelands(dot)org. They will assist
you in contacting the original creator of the piece. Please respect the
legal rights of our contributors.<br><br>* The side bar at the left side of nearly every web page on the site contains the following link:<br><br style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"></font><font style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><a href="http://scademo.com/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
What
is the SCA? - <em>Visit the Online SCA Demo</em></a><br><br>* All of the above have been present on the BMDL web site for quite some time now. If the Barony Officers decide that additional caveats need to be added to the web site and direct me to add such, then of course they will be published promptly. Changes to individual event announcements (as published on the web site) can be made at any time, at the request of the Autocrat.

<br>members (and visitors from other SCA groups) can find out about us.<br>But we should probably develop a page of information for first-timers<br>(garb, feast gear, reservations, participation not performance, etc)<br>
and start linking to that from all event announcements on our web site.
<br>That way when someone who's not really aware of the SCA stumbles across<br>one of our announcements, he'll get a hint.<br><br>She'erah<br><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>Sca-bmdl mailing list
