As with other activity groups, I believe a large and mature fencing
community can contribute by sponsoring theme events emphazing its
activity,
and work pro-actively and cooperatively with autocrats of other events to
work their activity in where appropriate; can provide a "thing for people
to do," a dynamic field of endeavor which can draw out the creativity and
hard work of Carolingians interested in that activity; and out of the
latter, can bring forth exemplary individuals that the barony can look to
with pride and for inspiration, as champions and members of orders of
merit, at the baronial level and beyond.

I have no doubt that I would become aware of other roles, more specific to
the situation of the fencing community, after getting greater familiarity
with their interests and activities, and after listening to their own
ideas.
