<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings and Hi There,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Folks, I got 2 questions (OH NO). Which
would you all prefer to see and do: have more pomp and ceremony to conducting
the Royal Huntsman or just go out there and get it shot and over
with?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now by more pomp and ceremony I mean like a order
of march to present the shooters to Their Highness and Crown (perhaps with
personnel heralds), Honor shield to denote who's shooting (like the heavies
use for Crown).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And, if it were more pomp and ceremony would you
be more or less likel to particpate? For this question, let's assume
that attending the event is not a problem.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Gilli</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>Shoot more arrows. You're bound to hit something.</DIV>
