<DIV></DIV>Greetings all,<BR><BR>As our Seneschal states, we do not have enough
support to make this demo happen.<BR><BR>We would like to thank Master Richard
for stepping up to take care of<BR>it, but he cannot do it alone. We would
also like to thank all of<BR>those who have come forth to support him and this
demo, but again,<BR>there has not been an adequate showing of hands in time to
support the<BR>effort.<BR><BR>It was not a decision that Acelyn came to quickly
or alone. It was a<BR>decision that our barony made by not stepping up in
a timely manner<BR>and in sufficient numbers to support the activity. We can no
longer<BR>assume, as we did in the past, that everyone will just show up to
help<BR>without letting the person(s) in charge of the activity know.<BR><BR>As
we move forward from this decision, we need to all look at<BR>ourselves and our
future level of activity as we discuss the future<BR>our this barony's event
schedule. Defender is open for bids. We only<BR>have one at the
moment. Who else will submit one? Twelfth Night is<BR>open for bids.
Only one person has indicated that they will submit a<BR>bid. Is
there anyone else? Several offices in the barony are turning<BR>over.
Who will step up and commit to those responsibilities? We need<BR>an
historian. Anyone interested?<BR><BR>We need everyones' input and ideas
and their support. We have long<BR>said that many hands make light work.
The more people who commit to<BR>an activity, the less time we all have to
work and the more time we<BR>have for fun.<BR><BR>Once again, we thank those who
stepped up for their efforts.<BR><BR>In faithful service to our Crown,<BR>Dáire
and Druinne </BODY></HTML>
