[Bards] DASMoBA Bardic Centered Events

My feeling is that a facilitator could be helpful.

A potential forum for a bardic-themed event takes place at each 
collegium-type event that is held.  I know each year as Westgate plans its 
annual collegium that the early planning always involves a discussion of 
theme and, having held a very successful bardic themed collegium in the 
past, bardic is nearly always discussed as a possible theme.  I suspect many 
groups go through the same discussion as part of their event-planning 
process.

Perhaps what is needed is a bit of encouragement and proferred support for 
groups willing to select a bardic theme at the events they are already 
planning.
