<DIV>Lorelei: <EM>Many of us have discussed on and off about the lack of recognition -</EM></DIV>

<DIV>Maybe we can have some fun with it, to take the edge off?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Several of us have been competing to see who can accomplish the most WITHOUT being recognized. Points are awarded for service, events/brackets won, final eight at KA, champions team at Pennsic, highest current average score per month, etc. A kingdom level award knocks you out of the running. We could always extend it to include more archers.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Or perhaps award a quiver favour symbolizing a black sheep (The Blackened Fleece?). When the bearer is finally recognized by the Crown, they must pass it along to whoever they feel is most deserving. From a practical pov, it could be used to spotlight those that have fallen through the cracks, so the rest of us would know who to spam the Crown about.</DIV>
