<div><SPAN contentEditable=false style="DISPLAY: inline-block"></SPAN>An SCA member who will be moving to the Fort Mead Aree came up with this plan try try and get enough people to fill two triads. Well really 4 people since he and his wife are fighting. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>I wonder if we have done this sort of research into Ponte Alto and takn a more organized aspect to recruitment. I noticed there was a comic book thing in Tysons Cornor every monthor so. Is this the sort of thing we want to get the word out at.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>What kind of ideas do we have. Is there anyplce around Goerge Mason (thought I would think they are going into finals) where we could practice in where people could see us. While our park is well estabished it doesn't seem to help our numbers. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>What sort of ideas does everyone have?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Do we have any sort of flyers we could give out during the practice on Sunday?</div>

<div>see below Lord Will's plan.</div>

<div><<We would recruit for the Baron’s Bunch, AFTER the additional three sets of armour are done and ready to be put on people. We won't recruit until we're ready to put people actually in the Baron's Bunch loaner armour. The draw would be that newbies can just step right into the armour and fight with us at the triad practices as a "test drive".</div>
<div>We’d advertise at the seven movie theaters and ten comic book shops to capitalize on the romanticism of fighting. </div>
<div>We’d advertise at the gyms to focus on the exercise of fighting. </div>
<div>We’d advertise at the malls and schools to get the masses. Possibly a demo would even be good. I could work it with the schools for the historical aspect and the malls for the "mass-draw" aspect of free advertising ("Come watch the fight!").</div>
<div>We’d advertise at the police forces to get people who are trained in shield wall tactics, but might not get a chance to use them as much as they’d like. This would also be our in with the local government. If someone complains about us the police we have in the triads can say we’re OK and we’re training for riot control sort of.</div>
<div>We’d advertise at the archery range to see if we can get combat archers. I know that people don’t like combat archers, but it would be so we can focus on the combined arms concept of warfare. Maybe we could even get some siege engine people out of it.</div>
