[Sca-cooks] Requirements for a Laurel & Presentation QUESTION

[Olwen the Odd]

>In my kingdom there is one local group where people can, actually, get a

As several of you know, I/we (from the studio) have mailed projects all over 
the place.  Sometimes to enter in A&S and sometimes by request of either 
someone there, or someone at the studio that wants to do something to 
contribute.  On occasion I/we will have someone schlep something for us but 
most of you out there have been so kind as to offer to accept a mailed 
packet and set the thing up.  Right now we have two projects in progress to 
send off.
I guess I only say that - where there is a will, there is a way.  So if you 
can't get to an event that has a competition you would like to enter, get on 
your keyboard and start asking for help.  I realize that there are certain 
weight/size restrictions for some, but certainly not for many of you.
Olwen, leaving too much old text in again..
