[Archers] Event date.

[Greg Christensen]

Greetings Lorelei,

For all to know, I don't think the next Kingdom Archery Champion should be 
decided on how well he/she fairs during the hottest days of the year (JULY). 
   And nothing was ever said about tradition of it being held in July.  Look 
at the Previous Champions site 
http://archery.atlantia.sca.org/champions.html and you will see that it was 
held at all times of the year in the past and there was even a Champion that 
only held onto it for six months and another for seven months.  And it was 
even suggested by Tnek and Lorenzo that it would be best done in fall at the 
end of archery season vs early spring when people are rusty from not 
shooting all winter.   In the last few years it has been run in the extreme 
heat and several archers have succumed to the heat.  In 2005 if the shoot 
would have run for another half hour I would have probably would have had 
gone to the hospital for heat exhaustion.  The date as it stands is April 
21st.  I have not seen the contract from the site, but have talked to the 
person who is renting it to us and have a verbal confirmation.

In Service
THL GREGGE the ARCHER
Atlantian Archery Champion
