Poor Communication Plagued Gathering

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

As I understand it, there was a great deal of concern that if The Gathering was widely advertised in Scotland locals might choose to attend the Edinburgh event over other, local events. Since most local events are on the ragged edge somewhere between success and failure, even a 10% drop in attendance could wipe some of them off the map. Sensitive to the political fall-out ff this was to happen, the organizers (wisely, in my opinion) puled back on local advertising.

Had The Gathering been heavily advertised in Scotland, and if this advertising had been to the detriment of one or two local games, I'm sure there would have been a much bigger row.

(My error-- I had originally written "Homecoming" when I meant "Gathering".
