<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=369113700-24082009>Hi everyone! We're
still waiting to hear back about the bid (there were a few glitches in the
process, but the proposed autocrat is sorting those out this evening) but since
there aren't any other bids for this event, I thought I'd share with you all the
UTR parameters of our bid.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=369113700-24082009>It's now a 1-day
event, due to site availability. It will be in a church in Maple Ridge and I
think we'll be able to have six concurrent classes. It's not as many as I would
have liked, but finding a site for this event was rather difficult so we're
making the best of what we've got. The maximum number of classes (one of the
rooms will need to be empty towards the end of the day for feast-type prep) will
be 22, up to four of which can be fighting classes. There will not be a kitchen
available for classes (sad face).</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=369113700-24082009>I would love for any
and all of you to teach; please let me know if you would like to. I'll be
sending out a general call for teachers once the bid decision has been
made.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=369113700-24082009>Elena, I was
wondering if you would be interested in helping me with pre-reg for the classes?
I've never done that before and you are so wise in the ways of
pre-reg.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><SPAN class=369113700-24082009>I believe that this
event should be a major UTR session every year (Tir Righ A&S is to be held
mid-November every year and house both the A&S and Bardic competitions for
the principality, though the Bardic will not be held this year) and that it
would be great to have as many deans there as possible. I see it as sort of an
annual opportunity to have a giant learn-a-palooza. The original site we had
chosen was an elementary school with numerous classrooms available for use.
Sadly, that didn't work out so I've scaled back my plan. But I'd love for us to
make this our "cornerstone" event, inasmuch as such a thing is possible.

let me know if you'd like to teach and if you have any ideas for featuring the
University alongside the A&S competition at this event.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
