[MR] Unevent location - Rumor?

[Signora Sveva Lucciola]

Fact is the school in Ramseur was never a "traditional" site...merely
the one we were able to use the past 2 years. As our SCA connection
with the school no longer works there (and we miss her greatly), I'm
guessing we won't be there this year. Previously to that we have hosted
several here in Windmasters' Hill and there were a couple in Richmond
too. Often the Crown tries to make these types of events as centrally
located as possible. But they only can accept the bids they have. 
So...the best way to have Unevent (or any other Kingdom event) closer
to you would be to submit a bid! As you have seen, pretty much any high
school or college, or even a large church, could meet the needs for
this type of (Un)event.

"If the world were merely seductive, that would be easy. 
If it were merely challenging, that would be no problem. 
But I arise in the morning torn between the desire to improve the world, 
and a desire to enjoy the world. 
This makes it hard to plan the day."
