ES - Coronation

[Sandeekg at AOL.com]

    Things appear to be getting way too complicated. Let's keep it simple, 
folks. Although a lot of people have made a lot of good suggestions and we 
are rewarded by the optimistic input. It's wonderful to see so many voices 
offering their suggestions. It shows so many people are really interested in 
being a part of the celebration. Brainstorming in e-mail makes sure all 
voices are heard and we have time to concider all ideas before decisions are 
made at business meetings and Moot. We need to keep some realism in all of 
this. How many tables are at our disposal and what can we add without 
breaking the bank? As far as separating the feasters and non-feasters, we've 
never done that before. 
    People seem to sit with their friends and take care of thier own food 
situation when they are not having feast. First come gets the favorable 
tables, ect, is a good system. Gate will probably open at 8:00 a.m.  so 
people should get an early start if they want their choice of tables, or have 
their friends save them a place. The real problem that seems to need 
addressing is how to get voices to the back of the room.  It seems our 
options are limited to a PA system of some sort (not period) or to placing 
heralds every 50 feet or so to relay the words of our royal leaders, etc. in 
loud voices. Which may be fun but kinda confusing and maybe a little 
complicated, so lets try to keep it as simple as possible and as much fun. 
But keep those cards and letters coming in and we can make our decisions at 
the the next meeting.
