Largely agreed -- the fragmentation of the Barony socially is a major underlying issue for all *sorts* of stuff. I suspect that a solution can't be imposed, though; rather, I suspect it's going to require a slow process of teasing things into a better position. That is, I doubt there's any single effective fix, but will instead require lots of little tweaks to make things healthier.
(That's pretty normal when you're trying to shift a dynamic system: it takes lots of nudging, rather than one big shove, if you want to wind up with something reasonably stable.)
It does suggest, though, that the much-mooted idea of having Council joined with one or more other SCA activities (possibly a general "activity day", although that's not obviously required), might help significantly. We tried doing that somewhat artificially a couple of times, dragging activities to Council, with modest success; it might work better the other way 'round...
