Gerlach, 

Thanks for the reply however I think you are missing my point. I realize that 
there might be enough cabin space but this is not the first event announcement 
that I have seen that states something like this. I find it a disturbing trend. 

Usually when it is stated that there is cabin space it is a limited amount and 
usually it is barracks style camping. There are people who are not comfortable 
with that type of arrangement and/or may not be able to rest in that type of 
arrangement. If they do not have a period pavillion in this type of situation 
they are then excluded from participating. I have even seen one event 
announcement (I believe it was a crown tourney or coronation) that actually 
stated that non-period tents are discouraged. 

As I said, I find this attitude disturbing. The SCA has always been a more or 
less inclusive group but this is not what I am seeing with announcements like 
this. 

That is the point I am trying to make but thanks for your differing point of 
view.
