ES - Fw: Coronation

[Laura Feldner]

I would like to second Erc's suggestion of using a PA system. I heard very
little of Coronation last year and definitely noticed the restlessness going
on towards the back of the hall. The courts I have attended that were
amplified were definitely more interesting. There was also a big problem
with noise from the children's area activities. Is there something we can do
to prevent this from happening again? Perhaps a separate room for the
children's activities?

The hall will probably accept that number of tables if we limit the space
used at the back for
merchants and other activities.  The larger question, in my mind, is making
it so that the
ceremony is not excruciatingly boring for everyone past the third table.
Without
amplification, there is no possibility whatsoever of anyone further from the
stage hearing
anything including whether their name or order is being called.  This tends
to make those who
can't hear restless and they begin to do things which make noise.  This
makes those
immediately in front of them unable to hear and they becomre restless and
start making noise.
It's a real problem and I think that <HERESY ALERT> much as I HATE to admit
it, we should
consider using the PA system and wireless microphones for those who will
speak often so that
those in the back of the hall can hear </HERESY ALERT>.
