Yes, I think we need classes, even if only three or four.

I think classes should run at their own time, unless of course an insturctor just wants
to run a class at the same time as the tourney.

That I will leave up to the experts (-'

I just want to add that I am willing to help the autocrats with anything they need, so
long as they remember Joan is preggers, and I many not have as much time as I
want to do things. Granted my experience is 20 years in the past, but I have done
troll, kinght marshalled, helped with feast, been a gofer... just give me something to
do.
