Too many events
The calendar is getting crowded again. We've got too many really active groups in the region, which is normally a good thing.
If we count all the cantons, we've got 26 groups in the region. If they each have two events a year, then we could fill every weekend of the year - of course some holiday weekends won't be used usually, and very little happens during in August because of Pennsic... Unfortunately (for scheduling) most of these groups have more then two events. For example we have four that make it onto the EK calendar.
So now we get things like this September, where three neighboring groups (Hartshorn-dale, Bhakail, Iron Bog) are each trying to have fighting, fencing, A&S, dancing events on the same weekend *sigh*. In this case, two of them are demo/events being held in conjunction with non-SCA sponsored events, so we had no control over the date. Still, all three will suffer because of the overlap.
