[Coastal] Coastal Coordination

    Three years back, well four, really, when a coastal group was 
organizing the Revival of the Guardian of the Gauntlet, which then was 
held in April, 2002 at the BorderKeep, Rebeka, Ansgar, Leah, Simonn, 
myself, and a committee of others including Armand and Caitrin De Lacy 
tossed around the idea of a coastal "regional" device, because we were 
all cooperating to make that event happen;  we really didn't push a 
device, banner, because we felt/ feel so much to heart about being 
Ansteorran. 
    Every group did something to make Garudian of the Gauntlet Revival 
happen. Stargate furnished the tables for feast; Bordermarch ministered 
the lists and supplied the site-crats; Greywood cooked the feast and 
furnished the marshal-crat; Sea Winds made the site tokens ... oh, they 
were these nifty little velvet gauntlets about the size of your 
thumb...;  Loch brought banners to spruce up the site; I surely 
misremember some of this but it was like Gate's Edge sat gate and 
Westgate helped set up and clean up.  Everybody pitched in on every 
level with every task to make a successful regional event.  
    Well... at these planning meetings which spanned 9 or 10 months, 
we'd chew over the idea of a banner for Coastal.   Probably a black 
field with a gold crescent (representing the shape of the coast) or vice 
versa, yada, and an Ansteorra star in chief, or superimposed over the 
crescent; with a line of embattlement dividing the chief.  You can tell 
I am not a herald.

None of us ever did anything with paper work to start to register a banner.

Personally, blue is my very fav color, and it has become recognizable as 
coast.  
I like the idea of a "sleeve" badge to indicate local branches.
And I'm highly in favor of black and gold, in which ever pattern results.
Thank you, YrExcellencies of Bordermarch, for bringing up the idea again,
Tessa
