[Lady Alexandra Scott]

Good afternoon ~

After reviewing some of the comments in this thread, I am reminded that at one 
time printed materials were to be "approved" materials.  Baron William Welwyn 
(previously of Nottinghill Coill) was heavily involved with the "media" side a 
few years ago.  This may have changed since 2005.

Nevertheless, if anyone knows where we can get "canned" materials to use, it 
should be noted and used according to SCA guidelines.

I only mention this as a reminder and to protect our fair Society, not to stifle 
any enthusiasm nor add more to anyone's plate.  


Graciously,
Alexandra

Lord Cian,

We often have a Newcomer's Point at our events (in Windmasters' Hill).  I did 
one at Ymir, we had one at Tourney of Friends, and I just did one at MATO.  We 
have belts that we give with loaner garb that signify them as newcomers.  At one 

point, the Kingdom Chatelaine had done some really nice pewter cast "N"s that we 

gave out as newcomer tokens.  I also do a Newcomer's Manual that I give out, 
have a hospitality table, and also do a Newcomer's Information Class when I have 

Newcomers' Point.  I do a scavenger hunt and give away a feast basket for two 
and/or garb at most events as well.  


Oh, and I had cards made up with my SCA information on it that I hand out to 
people I see when I run to the grocery store, etc.,  in garb and always get the 
questions!  It's a great way to get the word out about us!
