<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings to all Bards of Ansteorra!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am Ld Oudoceus Kynith, Titled Bard for the Shire
of Rosenfeld. Our shire will be having the Three Queens event in October
at Lake Hawkins. I would like to announce that that the bardic competition
for the new Titled Bard of Rosenfeld will be held at this event. Any
normally accepted form of bardic piece will be allowed but the theme of the
piece must be queen or queens. This is to include any kind of queen;
historical queen, fictional queen, queen bee, past or present queen of
Ansteorra or any kingdon in the known world. It just has to be queen
related in some sort of way! Also, since I am the current Titled Bard of
Rosenfeld I will be in charge of the competition. I will try my best to
schedule the competition so that everyone who wants to compete will have a
chance to perform, no matter what other activities he/she is involved in.
In order that I may compete to retain my title, of course, I can not be included
in the judging of the competition. Therefore, I would ask for volunteers
to be the judges of the competition. I have decided that there will be a
three judge panel for the competition. I would ask that if you are known
and experienced in the bardic arts that you would come to me in my time of need
so that I might try to retain my title. If you would be interested in
being a judge please email me at <A
href="mailto:walterd@lcii.net">walterd@lcii.net</A> . I will consult with
other members of the shire concerning those who are interested in being a judge
because there are a lot of you I don't know yet. If you email me that you
are interested but are not chosen to be a judge, I would ask that you consider
yourself on standby in case one or more of the chosen three are not able to
attend at the last moment. I know that there will be a lot of volunteers
of very high talent known throughout the kingdom for their bardic skills.
I will have to pare the list down to three somehow so please don't take offence
if you are not chosen. If it becomes to difficult to choose due to the
high calibre of volunteers I may just have to pick names out of a hat! I
can assure you that if you act as a judge of the performances I will do
everything that I can to see that your time spent doing so will be
comfortable and pleasant. If you are interested, please contact me as soon
as possible.</FONT></DIV>
