Your Grace.
I have re examined the Charter I sent out compared to the Hard copy given.
Yes there was a TYPO. It was human error for that I appologize to all and
yourself.. I do wish you would have contacted me in private first. that I
could have had the opertunity to Publicly admit my error before being
flailed for it public. I thought you knew me better. After Looking at the
Hard Copy Presented to me the only error is in section III 1.
I Posted with the error
1. The Bardic College has a policy of non-interference with local
title or non-title competitions. The college will not offer aid to anyone
who is having bardic competitions
The Hard Copy reads
1. The Bardic College has a policy of non-interference with local
title or non-title competitions. The college will offer aid to anyone
who is having bardic competitions
I will take responcibility for this error. in your post you Quote the
charter I put out and one from your computer in MIME format. out side of
the error noted above. the MIME format does not match the hard copy that was
given me. I do wish you would have contacted me privatly so I could have
brought the hard copy I was given to you.. The only variation Between the
hard copy I was given and what I Posted was one word "not" not a comlete
rewright as you have indicated.
Simone

Willow it was a mistake on I am willing to correct it was not an attempt to
change the charter

Willow when Have you ever known me to "razzel dazzel politics"
There is a lot of difference

As I stated earlier this was human error for that I appologize, I attempted
to type in the hard copy as given. I made a mistake. One I did not catch
durring the proof reading before it was sent.
