So did you volunteer to help them man the tent at the games? Why not get your money's worth by being the fourth person at the tent?
Hmmm. Guess I should have seen that one coming!

But no, for a number of reasons.

Primarily, we've just joined the clan ***'n. last fall and so had no prior reason to wade in other than a brief hello at the tent.

Also, with one exception, the games and events they attend are widely scattered up and down the East coast and would require a time and mileage commitment that I'm not sure I care to invest. Games and heritage festivals are fun to attend, but they are not "my life." If I have to face a long drive there are other things I would rather find at the end of it.

Additionally, our local Games have recently fallen on weekends that conflict with something else we do regularly. I have sometimes tried to split the attendance (one event on Sat, the other on Sun.) but that's not always possible and thus would prevent guaranteed attendance in the clan tent.


Peace
