[MR] FW: [sca-merchants] Conflicts with Holiday Faire weekend -Atlantia (Greater DC Metroplex)

[james barker]

Hello

A quick look at the Kingdom Calendar of Events shows that Dun Carraig has 
spiked their Baronial Birthday on the weekend Holiday Faire normally goes 
on. I understand from someone in the barony that they did use the no 
conflict rule for this event.

I hope something can be done for Holiday Faire that is one huge event and 
many great merchants come to it each year. It would be a great loss to the 
merchants and their normal customers if Holiday Faire does not happen.

James

A group in Atlantia has reserved the Holiday Faire weekend and will
not allow conflicting events, which means HF will have to find a new
site and a new date.  I'm wondering what other's reaction is to this.
.. I'm more than slightly peeved about the whole thing and will
likely boycott the conflicting event and may encourage others to do
the same.

FWIW, I'm not a member of either group and our booth is not something
we do to earn a living.  It just seems... tacky.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Atlantia event page is http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/calendar.php. The
Atlantia group in question is Dun Carraig. They have indeed pre-empted
Stierbach's Holiday Faire weekend on November 18th, which has always been
held the weekend before Thanksgiving. They appear to have other events
scheduled on February 25th and April 22nd. We shall notably and pointedly
avoid them and all other Dun Carraig events in the future until they learn
better manners.

BTW, we are not members of either group, but have supported and promoted
Stierbach for over five years now, and our booth *is* something we do to
make a living. We shall simply make a point of avoiding making a living in
their territory.

Is there any way to bring this to the attention of their Atlantean
Majesties?

YIS,
