[Ansteorra-archery] Royal Rounds at Events

[Frank Schalles]

That gives me another idea. Since Saturdays are the main event, could
we as Archers not sponsor a shade/water pavilion or two
to support the event, thus helping the event o crat, and B&B with a
ready source of water bearers? This would promote the idea that we are
supporting the rest of the group.
