[Utr] Sunshades

[Sally Mennill]

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. 
 
It really has to be stored by somebody with a garage or a basement or some
other kind of storage facility (and not by a person who lives with a packrat
in a two-bedroom apartment). Does such a person exist?
 
Philosophically,

Apparently bribes of chocolate work well. Although bribing myself was
interesting. But tasty. 

We also should have the approval of the rest of the financial committee
(Their Highnesses and our Principality Exchequer).

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.

However, things to consider before anything is purchased:

Who is going to store it/them?

Who is going to transport it/them?

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?

Do we buy more than one and have one in the interior, one in the lower
mainland, and one on the Island?
(Which returns us to...who is going to store them and transport them?)

Discuss. :-)

That seems like a good idea to me, provided we can convince that bee-atch of
a seneschal to agree to it (and also to purchase the item with her
Victoria-living juju). I don't think the walls and back would be necessary.

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.)


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.

Cost: Roof and poles: $99.99
          (optional) sides and back - additional $59.99

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.

P.S. I don't know if that sale is local to Victoria or not....
