Lords and ladies, children of all ages, I think I see the problem.
The Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences, who is a Laurel and ~20
year veteran of Ansteorra, doesn't know whether Eisteddfod is
Ansteorra's flagship Bardic event. (Gwyneth, that's not a slight
against you. It's a bleak commentary about the bardic community, and
how far we've allowed our craft to slide in our fair kingdom.)
Stuck in a back room (if location matters to you), or with 7
competitors (if attendance is what worries you), or revealing
questions like that (if perception, public relations and credibility
are important to you)... either way, we've got a lot of work to do.
The "back room" issue seems to have been addressed for the upcoming
Eisteddfod. Now let's tackle the others.
Let's get to work. :-)
