<div>Actually, I'm not sure any announcement happened last year that bid people to extinguish any lights.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>And at one point we bantered around the idea of having a herald essentially call order, announce essentially a nicely written history of candlemas/Imbold about it is time to douse all lights of the winter's passing and once again celebrate the new lighting of the hall. The dancers of Bryn Gwlad will bring in the light so all can rejoice and welcome the sun's gaining strength.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have not written it up yet or confirmed the pageantry with their Excellencies. Keep reminding me to follow up on this so that we have it in place and ready to implement.</div>

usually, with anywhere from one to four (sometimes more) little<br>
square knobby things that stick out of it, that you can level<br>
upwards or downwards...<br>

The problem I was thinking of is people who light the candles on their<br>
tables before the candle dance and the ceremonial lighting of all the<br>
candles. Is it enough if we have someone (*cough*) herald before the<br>
dance to bid people extinguish all the flames? (N.B. must avoid the<br>
phrase "kindle fire".) Is there a handout at the gate and can we get<br>
info into it? Maybe it would help to have little aluminium foil caps<br>
over each candle that we set out, or would people just take them off<br>
and light them anyway? Basically, I'd like to brainstorm.<br>
