I haven't yet met my own personal requirement to compete in Eisteddfod. I know that sounds odd, since I competed in it last year, but then I waived my requirement because my bardic teacher had returned to the kingdom and came to the event. I competed so that I could honor her that day. There's no telling if/when she'll return to see her student compete in it again, so I thought that was a pretty good reason to set aside my own requirement - which incidentally is to win three baronial level bardic championships. So
far, I've won one. :)<BR><BR>Alden<BR><BR><BR>----- Original Message ----<BR>From: "jerryn@houston.rr.com" <JERRYN@HOUSTON.RR.COM><BR>To: Ansteorran Bardic list <BARDS@LISTS.ANSTEORRA.ORG><BR>Sent: Friday, October 27, 2006 8:18:34 AM<BR>Subject: Re: [Bards] How to improve Kingdom Eisteddfod<BR><BR><BR>I agree, Robin; work has to be done.
