<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=359453513-08082009>I like
Wrenn's idea of looking for easy-ups instead of portable garages. I know I can't
actually put up a portable garage (I'm somewhat on the short side, and once the
legs start going in, I can't reach the horizontal pieces to lift or move or
attach sides.)</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

something with sides, that would be best. Why? It's Tir Righ. It rains. It'd be
great to have shelters for classes and registration that people could breathe in
without scuba gear.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=359453513-08082009>Regarding
storage: the Principality will likely have a storage unit in
Abbotsford/Chilliwack area by the end of 3QTR. That's end of September for you
non-exchequer types... <grin></SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff><SPAN class=359453513-08082009>In order for
the Principality's Financial Committee to approve the purchase, we need the
figures. How many do we want? How much is the total cost? There are XS Cargoes
all over the place. Anyone willing to check if they still have easy-ups
available?</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

LOVE the idea of getting some sunshades together.<BR><BR>
<P align=left> I'd like to throw in a "NO" for portable garages, as a
general rule they suck, they are not easy at all to put up, transport or store
and they are ugly. </P>
<P align=left><BR></P>
<P align=left>If UTR wants to go the easy pre fabed way I'd rather see 10x10
easy ups... I managed to pick one up from xs cargo for t/a war for only $50
taxes in by asking for a non-profit deal. They fit well together with any other
easy ups available, are a nice size for most clases and at the war "hid" quite
nicely behind ThuA's bug canvas shade.</P>
<P align=left><BR></P>
<P align=left>that said we've just picked up on of the tarps, all pre treated
from Princess Auto that the UTR shades were made of to do one up for the Shire
of Ramsgaard- I can let you know whatt the final size/cost/effort if if you'd
like.</P>

color=#0000ff>Very good questions, your wise-ness. Personally, I have nowhere to
store such a contraption. I could transport one to events though, provided they
fit on my roof rack. I also like the idea of having a few of them scattered
throughout the principality. That way the closest one could come to the event at
which it was needed. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Apparently bribes of chocolate work well. Although bribing
myself was interesting. But tasty.
<DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We also should have the approval of the rest of the financial committee
(Their Highnesses and our Principality Exchequer).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If that is forthcoming, and everyone wants one or more
of these purchased, I can do that. I have a credit card
and I know how to use it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>However,
things to consider before anything is purchased:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to store it/them?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to transport it/them?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I can buy it and bring it to Investiture, but could
anyone bring it home? I could bring it back to the mainland, but where will it
go?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do we buy more than one and have one in the interior, one in the lower
mainland, and one on the Island?</DIV>
<DIV>(Which returns us to...who is going to store them and transport
them?)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Discuss. :-)</DIV>

<DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">At AT War, THUA had
several sunshades which I thought was a great idea. If UTR decides to follow
THUA’s example, I think that might be an item for which we might consider
fundraising. But we don’t HAVE to (Tir Righ didn’t make the Heralds go
fundraise when they wanted money for consulting books. In fact, we upped
what they asked for.)</SPAN></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>
<DIV>On that note, my sister mentioned to me not 15 minutes ago that Canadian
Tire had portable garages on sale (10 x 20). They were called "waterproof
canopies" or something like that. White cover.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Cost: Roof and poles: $99.99</DIV>
<DIV> (optional) sides and back -
additional $59.99</DIV>

<DIV>You might be able to talk the seneschal into approving the purchase
for one or two, although I hear she can be a real bee-atch.</DIV>
