[MR] Classes on protocol

[Cecelia Hughes]

Classes on protocol, both beginner and advanced, will be available at
the Stierbach Baronial Birthday as well.

For those who have not heard, we will be holding classes at the 10th
Baronial Birthday that will be available, by the Lord Chancellor's
permission, to be counted for University credit.  If you are interested
in teaching a class, please contact me with particulars, as I will be
organizing tracks.  So far, it looks like we'll have both a scribal
track and an heraldic track.  What else would people like to teach?
