Howdy!  Tiernan here...

I was not informed about the Central Regional fighter practice until
after
the SteppesLetter went out.  I try to get the newsletter out by the 26th
of
each month so the Barony knows what's going on.  If I had been informed
about 
this practice, I would have not only published it but informed House
Norwald that there was a scheduling conflict.  I agree that the central
region
needs some sort of communication and this communication needs to trickle
down
to the local chroniclers so we can inform our respective groups through
our
newsletters.  Sometimes seneschals get information that doesn't get
passed to
the chronicler.  Then the group suffers.  Also, decisions within the
group need 
to be made in a timely manner so that the chroniclers can pass info on
to other
chroniclers in the area.  Lady Arabella graciously sends me the Elfsea
calendar
every month but because Elfsea doesn't make calendar/schedule decisions
until late
in the month, I can't include them in the SteppesLetter.

I would be glad to help all I can in organizing a central regional
calendar.  One
idea would be collating all the local calendars into one and then
publishing the
end product, probably within this mailing list.

I think I'm finished ranting...at least for the moment! :)
