[MR] A proposal for the hard copy Acorn

[Brown, Tracey (BOA)]

All events are entitled to have their flyer published for 2 months free
of charge (February events could have had their flyers in the January
issue if they submitted them in time).  Kingdom level events are
entitled to 3 months with no cost.  Any group which would like to have
their flyer posted further in advance can purchase advertising space if
they so desire.

Please bear with me all, I've not posted here before....

I, too, recieve my hard copy Acorn so late as for it be pointless (Feb 4
for Jan)the majority of the time.

Since we quite apparently cannot change the US Postal Service, perhaps
we could consider changing The Acorn?

Specifically, could January's Acorn (which arrives near the beginning of
Feb) carry event announcements for Feb (and late Jan?) instead of Jan?
I do not know if the Kingdom Chronicler reieves the event announcements
in a timely enough fashion to do this.  But, if so, sending the Feb
announcements in the Jan Acorn would at least make the event
announcements in the Jan Acorn relevant again.  It does seem rather a
waste of many people's time, effort, funds
(trees?) to send announcements for events that are almost certainly past
by the time the majority of the subscribers recieve them.

The various missives from various officers, functionaries and so on ,
will be as relevant as ever and meet various hard copy publication
requirements whenever they are recieved.  But it seems to me that this
owuld be a way to regain the usefulness of the event announcement
portion.

Yours

Carraig)
