in all fairness we only heard one side of the story.  what if there were
other bids and all of the bids were equal save the location?  if that is the
case then in order to serve the kingdom in the best way one would have to
decline the more distant (from center) bids.  im just shooting in the dark
since i know nothing of the circumstances that the bid committee had to
weigh but i find it hard to believe that the bid was turned down solely
based on location.  i could be wrong of course.  i just think there must be
more to the story and i would caution people to reserve judgment on things
until they know all the facts.

I cannot believe I read that a northern bid was reject do to distance when
the last 2 12th nights were on the western side of the kingdom and fairly
far south. The proposed site is 1 hour from the DC and Baltimore area and
the last 2 were 7 hours plus away; how about we switch it up for once. I
would also like to see numbers on who has larger attendance the northern
12th nights or the southern ones; biggest I have been too was the one in
Manassas VA and hour of so from the now rejected site. Shouldn't
accessibility to more people be a factor?

If I recall the numbers correctly in not the DC and surrounding areas the
most populated part of the kingdom and over all does not the north have more
members? Why should a northern bid then be rejected do to distance?
