Though these are out of the region, in the past we have tried (sometimes
been told to) avoid conflicts with adjoining regions (all other regions
adjoin the Central region - arghh). We could also expect some drop in
attendance from those who would attend these. But this is a discussion point
and not a "cannot happen" kind of thing. Thanks for taking the time to come
up with a good option.

Please remember that with the global warming our weather patterns have
changed over the years.  It is not as cool in September as it once was years
ago. With that thought in mind why not move it into October?  They second or
third weekend would not be that bad.  I already checked and we would not be
conflicting with anything in the region. 


10-12

Namron Protectorate - Namron (Norman , OK) *PED*
Tourney by the Loch - Loch Soilleir (Clear Lake, Tx) 


17-19

Ursae-Lyons - Bjornsborg (San Antonio, TX) *PED*
Battle of the Pines - Graywood, (Lufkin, TX )

It would still be in the fall and not as bad. With the price of gas it would
make something close for those of us that could make the event.

As the price of gas continues to go up, everyone will have to make choices
about events. Here is a list of Pro's and Con's for a defender in September,
May, and I am going to add another weekend the fourth Saturday in January
just because its open.

 

 

Defender in May

 

Weather - Cool temperatures, but threat of rain, as long as the event is not
at Canton I will say this is a PRO. Average temp. is 75-80 degrees

2nd weekend in May is mother's day weekend - Con?

Last Event before Coronation - PRO

Same month as Coronation, Steppes warlord, and queens champion. Con

New date for Defender Pro and con.

 

 

Defender in September

Weather - warmer temperatures but threat of rain. Pro or con you decide
Average Temp is 85 - 93 degrees

No longer that last tourney before crown - Con

One weekend before major melee event Con

First baronial event in the central region since may. PRO

 

Defender in January

3 weeks after 12th night - CON

Weather Cold but can be very cold. Pro or con you decide. average temp 30 to
65 degrees

This will be the first tourney after Crown Tourney. PRO

No real competition from any event in January or Feb on the fighting front
PRO

 

Anyway just some food for thought
