[Artemisia] Event Emergency

[Kim Rule]

I have to say that I have been at remote events...and I have felt very
safe.  At one event there was a forest fire (Remember Raptor Fire?)  The
locals were surprised that so many volunteers were there to help
out...of course, it was hard to keep the ladies in long dresses from
battling beside the men...but when we asked them to look at themselves,
and think about what they wanted to do...they looked at their skirts and
responded "Oh Yeah, maybe that's not a good idea!"  :)

I remember a particular Raptor war when the cowboys from the stable came
over.  They got a bit drunk, and started to get rowdy, and a bit forward
with a couple of the dancers around the fire...there were some gentlemen
in our encampment who strongly advised them that it was a bad idea to
harass the dancers....

I have no doubt that if there was an emergency...we have gentles who
would step up make sure we are safe.

Arwen,

Mst. Juliana's response of dial 911 is good.  While waiting for them to 
arrive (which could be a long time given some of our event sites), the 
situation will dictate what to do.

There was an event in Silver Keep many years ago where some mundane bad
boys 
drove through causing some problems.  About 20 fighters "greeted" them
with 
various rattan weapons.  Bad Boys wisely choose to find easier pickings.

Some of our fighters are indeed warriors.  Should a person attempt to
cause 
bodily harm to SCA members at an event, I suspect that said warriors
would 
not stand idly by while waiting for the law enforcement guys to show
up....

Just my thoughts.  BTW, I would NOT be standing idly by.....

YIS,

Alan
