[Hartwood] Tir Righ August Investiture

[doerksen at island.net]

I think it is worth the effort, too.

There are differences in events: Crown/Coronet will always draw more  
people because of the fighting; investitures draw fewer but usually  
have a lot of royalty and guild happenings; A&S championships draw  
fewer yet but -very- passionate attendees. If we can compare  
attendance at events on and off-island, broken down by type, from the  
past 3 years, we'll be able to make a reasonable estimate of probable  
attendance (and base the budget on that).

I think we should take the shot. It is almost irrelevant whether our  
chances are good. If we don't try at all, we've failed. Let's -do- it!
