Re: PC 04, I agree with Christian :-)

Hello Everybody

The Company of St. George forum isn't the place to discuss whether the
Reichsaufgebot should allow the use of cameras or not. These things should be
discussed with the organisers of that event. Christian has simply pointed out,
that as a member of the Company taking part in this event, he (and many others)
didn't like the fact that cameras kept appearing.

The Company's rule on this is simple. If you want to take photos, get out of
costume and become a member of the public for the duration of the photo-shoot.
That avoids a member of the public taking a photo of a costumed member holding
a camera (it has happened before.......)
