[MR] War of the Wings III

[scribe0002 at aol.com]

Alisoun and all others gathered here,

Please be assured that I did not move onto the Columbus Day Weekend 
lightly or brashly.

I've been in contact with Gustav, the intended event steward of Kingdom 
Crusades for 2008 and only sought to move onto this weekend when it 
became apparent that Kingdom Crusades was not going to happen this year 
for a number of reasons.

I have the blessing of Gustav as I in no way wanted to offend that good 
gentle nor any other involved in the running of the Kingdom Crusades.

I have permission from Baroness Fiona, Kingdom Seneschale, Her Majesty 
Rowan and Her Highness Kari.

It is understood that when Kingdom Crusades returns, War of the Wings 
will need to find a new date.

Last year was a confused situation with KC's reserved weekend, usually 
the second weekend of the month, falling on the first weekend of the 
month . . . usually that reserved for Fall University. The fact that 
WoW ended up on what was supposed to be the University weekend was an 
inadvertent result of some miscommunication. It was a learning curve 
for several of us.

I have tried to avoid a repeat of that situation or any perceived 
disrespect. I apologize for not making that apparent in my initial 
post.

In Service and gratitude,

~gise

Umm, under Kingdom law this weekend is a protected weekend reserved for
Kingdom Crusade.  While I grant you that an event CAN be scheduled on a
protected weekend with the explicit permission of the Crown and Kingdom
Seneschal, I have to wonder why this war could not be scheduled on a 
"free"
weekend, particularly since there would presumably not be a problem in
booking the site on other weekends.

This is not the first time that WoW has done this.  Last year it pushed 
Fall
University from its assigned weekend which caused no end of 
difficulties for
quite a few folks.

One really has to ask why have "protected" dates in Kingdom Law if they 
are
not actually protected, particularly in a case like this where Crusade 
and
WoW are events of closely similar types and audiences.
