Greetings! Yes, I am an SCA virgin...clandestine, untouched...have never even SEEN a peni..er, uh Pennsic, I believe is the correct spelling. <grin> Anyway, the reason I'm writing is because I'm having a little bit of difficulty delving into the whole SCA arena. I've surfed a ton of SCA oriented web pages, read most of the Rialto, scanned the messages here at this humble abode, found a place that if you type in your zip code, it'll tell you the closest branch of the SCA to your area. And that's when the trouble started. First, there is no local SCA branch within 50 miles of where I live (Western, MD). The closest is about 52 miles away in Martinsburg, WV. The other two are about 55-60 miles away, and they are in Johnstown, PA and Morgantown, WV. The closest one in Maryland was 72 miles away, in Frederick! I was not a happy camper. So I wrote to the AEthelmearc Seneschal, because my top three choices are located in this Kingdom, and she told me yet some more unfortunate news. Maryland is not in the territory of AEthelmearc. It's in the territory of Atlantia. She was as nice as could be, but it was not what I wanted to hear! Now, my major dilemma is (and I thought all I'd have to worry about was finding out what a "snood" was!) deciding whether or not to a)Stay within my territory/kingdom and travel 72 freaking miles b)go outside of my territory/kingdom and travel 50 miles or c)start a local SCA group on my own. I was wondering (actually, make that begging) if someone could give me some advice on what I should do. Also, how hard is it to start up a brand new branch? I would really appreciate the help! Thank you, Christy periwinkle@miworld.com
