[Gatesedge] Proposed change to Kingdom law

[lisabetta]

Not completely true,
If there are awards and you want them given out then you state it in your
award rec that you would like for it to be given at such and such event so
can it please be read into law at an event before then...

Yes, we can still have as many off calendar events as we want and
we can still advertise them in the Black Star and we can try to
make money off them.

About the only thing we can not do at off calendar events is have
courts where awards are given out.

I agree that I cant see us loosing attendance if our site and feast
fees are in line with other comparable events in the kingdom.  But
making sure your site fee is regarded as being "in-line" with
other "comparable" events is as a task sometimes easier said than
done.

I am hopeful that the change in kingdom law regarding calendar
dates will encourage larger events but I think that it may take a
couple of years for the travel and event attendance patterns of the
kingdoms populace to change.  Also, currently the large number of
unemployed members in certain areas as well as higher gasoline
prices seems to have marginally hurt event attendance outside of
local and close regional events (or at least that is my
perception). I am hopeful that withing a few years we might be able
to get our event attendance up above 200 (but currently except for
special occasions, 200 would be a real good attendance for events
from groups like the barony of the loch).
