[MR] kingdom sponsoring events - was Permenant Crown event site

[Barbara]

At last Curia, Their Majesties introduced the law changes that would allow
the kingdom to sponsor kingdom event - fronting the money.  To take it the
rest of the way, it also requires changes to the kingdom financial policy,
which is in progress.  The reason this takes so long is that Kingdom
Financial Policy changes must be ratified by the SCA Board of Directors. But
they meet on Saturday in Williamsburg!

So: wait for it. We think it's coming.

Can anyone point me to where this policy is listed? I don't remember
reading this in the Kingdom's governing documents and I'd (obviously)
be very interested in learning more about this policy, if it's still
in place. Thanks so much for giving me hope Corwyn!! If this policy IS
still in place, I'm not sure if many folks know about it (or maybe I'm
the only clueless one, smile!)

 As I recollect Kingdom CAN "sponsor" or front a local group hosting 
 the event per policy (been a while since I read it, but that's how
it 
 was when I was KingdomSeneschal).
 But getting bids from groups really really sucks. Pretty much every 
 single time it's a struggle to get bids. Like 10 times a year. Year 
 in year out. Even when that information was made available to group 
 seneschals. Removing a lot of that issue for two events (two that
are 
 required for us to maintain our kingdom status) removes a lot of 
 weight from the kingdom offiers required to beg/borrow/steal event
bids.
