bit,<BR>> I'd like to start up a<BR>> new one that might not be quite so controversial. <BR>> It is my hope to<BR>> organize a bardic collegium for the late spring or<BR>> summer of this year,<BR>> either hosted by Steppes or attached to an existing<BR>> event. If hosted by<BR>> Steppes, it would technically be a local or regional<BR>> event given the<BR>> kingdom limitations on the number of kingdom-level<BR>> events hosted by each<BR>> group, but I would love to see it grow and draw<BR>> bards from thoughout the<BR>> kingdom. This is in the absolute beginning stages<BR>> of preparation and so<BR>> can be shaped to fit the needs of the participants. <BR>> I'd like to get<BR>> input on the following subjects:<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Classes you'd like to see (and who might teach them)<BR>> <BR>> Panel discussions you'd like to attend (and who<BR>> would be good<BR>> participants)<BR>> <BR>> Would you
attend and/or teach (if available to do<BR>> so) and what factors<BR>> might encourage your attendance?<BR>> <BR>> Should it be attached to some other event or<BR>> something all its own?<BR>> <BR>> Would you be willing to contribute original pieces<BR>> to a book to be sold<BR>> or given at the event?<BR>> <BR>> Other issues I haven't thought of<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Any takers?<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Antonia/Dawn<BR>> <BR>> It's the little things in life...<BR>> <BR>> ________________________________<BR>> <BR>> Do you Yahoo!?<BR>> Yahoo!
