I was looking forward to setting out a few sunshades and a table and some food and hoping to meet people by showing a bit of hospitality. Ah well.
Now that sounds very welcoming to me. THAT is what the SCA is supposed to be about, sigh.
As for the walled pavilion, I think I'm also affected by the fact that when I was first new, certain people in the local group set up such areas and really were trying to keep most people out. Thankfully, most of those people are no longer in the SCA (or I can't remember who they were, since they've changed over the years or I just ignore them), but it's affected me ever since.
