Running an Information Point

The Information Point is created specifically to give information to non-SCA people who approach an event. Due to the number of sites that we are currently sharing with other groups and organizations, this Information Point will become increasingly important as time passes. It’s important to NOT use SCA words like Hospitaler, Troll, Newcomers, or anything else that might confuse people.
