Thank you, Stefan. I only found out last night myself.

I have been keeping the negotiations kinda quiet, since i'm not a Laurel and usually they only bring Laurels over. Apparently enough people are familiar with my work via internet and wanted me to come anyway. I had to submit some documents indicating what i can do and some letters of recommendation from people who have attended my classes.

The plan is for me to go in the spring of 2015 to teach at Rowany Festival in/near Sydney, then to cross the continent at teach at another event in the Barony of Aneala in/near Perth.

I am deeply deeply honored.

Urtatim (that's oor-tah-TEEM)

>> Hi all,
>>     all the money for the stronger kingdom fund for this year has been allocated, but if you're thinking of an event for next year and would like to bring an expert/s to your group or have an idea for something that you think would be of benefit to the kingdom, then please put together an application ($500 is the limit) and send it to myself (exchequer at lochac.sca.org) or Caristiona (seneschal at lochac.org.au) and we'll put it before the council of the purse for consideration.
>> 
>> This year the money has gone towards bringing Master Ruslan to Festival, bringing the Known World tapestry and its creator out here for the 50th anniversary) and bringing Urtatim (a middle eastern expert) out to next year's Festival and then to Aneala.

>> And there's also the Laurel Freedom bus for consideration as well.
