A consultation would be Good. What exactly do you need for that?

On the other hand, as a placeholder, it beats "The Kingdom Lands that
used to be the Shire of Middleford, but aren't any more, and when we
do reform a group here we sure aren't calling it Middleford because
that name has way, way, way too many people in this Kingdom who
associate it with Problems of the Past from before most of us started
playing in the Society or moved to Ansteorra, or either in some
cases."  That's a mouthful, no?

At present, we are signing in at events with Member At Large, or
Kingdom Lands in the column for the name of local group.

IIRC, I could document the Georgian translation of "Kiss My Arse"
(Georgian fortification, don't recall the year it was renamed but I'm
pretty sure it's Period) but I doubt that would be much better than
the above.
