[Bryn-gwlad] The possible return of sunday practice !!!

[Shannon Brewster]

Ysabeau has a good point.  It would be of great help in this research if we
knew where we were as a Barony geographically speaking.  Are there more of
us south than north, east over west.  If we can figure this out or get a
decent idea then we would know where to look that would be fair for everyone
to attend.  Would it be possible to get a poll put up on the website for
this?
