I am firmly opposed to mandatory memberships for
anything. If someone is sufficiently invested in the SCA to be King
or Baron or Seneschal, and still sees no value in a membership in
the corporation, that says something about the utility of that
membership. The SCA is not about sending a check to California. It's
about what you do in and for your group (whether you define group on
the guild, barony, kingdom, or society level).
