Sorry, I do stand corrected on this.  My mind had placed it at 3 times 
in that location, not twice ...

I also had heard many people talking about it as becoming the 
traditional spot, because we had it for as long as we wanted (and as 
long as said person worked there ....)

However, my point that it was 'traditionally' in the middle of the 
Kingdom, as opposed to events such as Crown/University/etc that are 
encouraged to bounce around the Kingdom, I believe, still stands ...

Just that statement that I, as a northerner, wouldn't have considered 
asking my group to submit a bit, unless I had known, no bids had been 
made.  Yet no information as to that effect, was produced.

Yes, a very nice website; however, it does not state those that are in 
need of bids.  Only when bids are needed, and the requirements of said bids.

It would be very nice if there was a website that included which ones 
had received bids, and perhaps the location of such bids.

It might encourage more groups to bid on certain events, knowing what 
other options have been offered.
