Ex Libris. Again.

[sister_raphael]

Shhhhh!  I haven't told everyone that needs to know yet, but I'm going to re-activate a group I started some years ago which folded up due to many issues. I was a founding member and the secretary and chose the name, which I've always loved.

I've spoken to the last two members of the group and they are happy for me to step up again and take the group in a different direction, which will be, of course, exclusively 14th century. Some impressions will be early, and some later, but the restarting will give me a bit more organisation as far as attending events and insurance etc.

I've made a a webpage which I haven't shared a link to but this is the new group banner. The group was just Ex Libris previously, but I think this will just indicate a fresh start.

Why am I leaving the group I'm currently in? For once it's not about egos or personality clashes. The current group is multi-period and the Persian contingent is growing so much that I really am the only medieval person left in our group. This means that I'm the only one attending medieval events, so it's not really fair to expect others to do my applications. I'd also like to be housed with other medieval re-enactors at festival time. Our insuring body required groups to have a certain number before insurance is considered and standards are checked, and I've not been able to get solo insurance. At the moment, I have a few willing helpers who are prepared to sign on so we can do our own thing (and have a say in hosting people from other places if we wish.)

Anyway, I'm excited.
