[MR] 20 year - Autocrat's observations and thanks

[Terry L. Neill]

I would like to commend the Autocrat, or whoever came up with the idea of 
the two tents for the feast.  Wonderful!  A place to hang out and schmooze 
with friends, for vigils, for teas, to get out of the rain, and for shade 
when sunny.

All that in addition to a place to feed a lot of people a scrumptious feast.

Nice event.  Lots of fun.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to my enjoyment of the event!

Anne has very nicely assumed that the beer bottles were disposed of on site, 
not consumed on site.  And I certainly hope she is correct.

But if the beer was consumed on site, then that is a LARGE problem.  The SCA 
can get kicked out of sites for violating their alcohol policies.  This 
disregard of site policies can get around to other site owners and impede 
other group's abilities to rent sites.

NO ONE should be bringing alcohol onto a dry site.  Period.

And anyone who sees somone on a dry site with alcohol should politely point 
out that unchivalrous conduct--either to the people involved or to the 
Autocrat.  Like underage drinking, such behavior cannot be tolerated.
