Memories
The Clan MacColin was invited by the autocrat to demonstrate pike drills and formations at the Anniversary event. This caused some controversy since the pikes had metal (most of them lead) points. The Marshal, Bhaltar, insisted that no steel be used in his Field, even if it was not combat. The Clan MacColin complied by using pointless pikes, which they then named, "Bhaltars". These events were difficult pieces of work. Bringing in non-SCA people did not seem to please some SCA folks, and several of the experts I brought in for the symposium didn't like each other. The experts were quite respectful and professional at the event, however. The event was not well-attended and it lost money, mostly mine. But the events were valuable none-the-less and I am glad they happened. - Eadwynne of Runedun
