Exactly.  Now what the principality supporters want to do is carry that
same I dea over into the ceremonial part of our organization, and supply
the same sort of support to the Crown.

While in theory I understand the desire to set a schedule for the Crown,
in practise I an very reluctant to accept it.  Ther are just to many
modern, mundane factors which interfere.  It may be impossible for a
Crown to go to a certain set event or group at a certain set time. 
There were times I had to adjust my schedule about where or when I would
go because my job required so much travelling, and others have the same
or similar demands restrictions.  I might be flying in out of state on
Friday night,and I couldn't quite get home, pack up and be off to
Bonwicke.  There were times I changed my flight schedule and literally
flew to the hosting city, was met at the airport by Rebecca, and then
drove straight to the event. But this is impossible to plan for months
in advance when you are trying to decide whether you should fight in
Crown tourney.  (It should be some clue that I have not competed in a
Crown since I stepped down).
