Hmm...<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Err... I don't like to think of myself as a keeping-up-with-the-Jones kind of person but I'd prefer if we could do UTR canvas sunshades instead of the portable garages (I'm still sensitive from when Skeggi was reigning and called Tir Righ the 'White Trash Principality of An Tir')... <BR>
<BR>
Ulf and I have used up the last of Tir Righ blue canvas to make a travel tent but if we had patterns I'd be ok making one of them here and shipping it out. I can volunteer with talking to THUA about their tents and getting a feel for what they like about them or don't like, etc. We could build on that knowledge... <BR>

<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-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt">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><BR></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>
