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

[Glynis Gwynedd]

To clarify my earlier post, THLord Siegfried and I have looked through the
Kingdom Laws and Policies and apparently there is NOT any requirement at
all for a group (Barony or otherwise) to have an event every year, much less
2 or 3 events per year.  The only requirement is that an incipient group
hold an event under the sponsorship of an established group.

The information in Point 1 was found at
http://law.atlantia.sca.org/Law.html#6.3 for those wondering.
