[Artemisia] Pay to Play

[Sondra Gibson]

You are right, and I believe the gifts I remember were either by individuals
or by a group of individuals - not by the SCA 'group'.  

So - where does the non-member surcharge fall?  Can a group give a free site
fee to first time attendees, and pay the NMS out of procedes from the event?
Or would a group of individuals have to donate towards paying that?
