[Artemisia] Pay to Play

[BECKY LEISHMAN]

It is my undertanding that none of it can be paid out of the proceeds of the event.  It is all a 'private' contribution to a 'private' individual. How you 'organize' that is up to you as individuals.  

Morwenna, correct me if I'm wrong.

  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?  

  Gefjon
