[MR] question about altantias land at pennsic

[Shalandara at aol.com]

Your Highness,
 
I have a question regarding the disadvantage you mention in that moving the  
Royal Encampment means losing land according to the Pennsic Accord.
 
Would this loss be permanent for this and all future Pennsics?  Or is  it 
that only for this next Pennsic, and after that we would go back to having a  
large amount of land in whatever new location we have?  
 
The answer to my question could have a major impact on the opinions of  
Atlantians.  I would be willing to bet that more people would be in support  of 
this if it is a "temporary" lessening of the camp size as opposed to a  permanent 
one.

Greetings from Logan Ebonwoulfe and Esa Kirkepatrike, Prince and  Princess of
Atlantia,

Pennsic grows closer with each passing day and  We begin to prepare for that
glorious event now.  We would ask for  your advice and opinion on certain
matters concerning Pennsic so that We  might hear the will of the Kingdom.



The question We put to you  today concerns the Kingdom's land at Pennsic.
Last year Atlantia  had  a typical Kingdom encampment with a large open space
for classes,  gatherings and parties.  It is Our understanding that this was
very  well received by all that attended except for one major problem,  the
proximity to the interstate.  We are told that those attending the  Bardic
Night could not always sing loud enough to be heard, the teachers  had
trouble talking over the cars and court is simply impossible.  We  have
already had inquiries about the possibility of having another  Atlantian
Social (Spiked punch party), A&S classes and other  gatherings.
Additionally, We would like to consider holding Court in Royal  as opposed to
the fort this year.  To do these things Atlantian Royal  might need to be
moved to a new location.  

A new location  would have several advantages:

Being further from the interstate would  allow for things such as court and
bardic to happen much more  easily.

A more prominent location might allow the Kingdom camp to be  located more
easily.

A new location would have the disadvantage of  moving Atlantia from it's most
recent location.  This would mean that  Atlantia would lose the lands granted
it by the Pennsic Accord which gives  each kingdom a large amount of land.
As such the kingdom would only get the  land afforded it by those that
register to camp there.  As we all know  that is a small number.  Should our
Kingdom have a much smaller camp  simply to move us away from the noise of
the interstate?  If more  folks camped there we might have a large tract of
land but, obviously, we  would have more people in camp.

We ask you, the citizens of Atlantia to  tell Us your thoughts on this
matter.  Tell us your opinions and give  us your advice as to the future of
the Atlantian Kingdom Lands.  Do  you think that we should stay where We are
currently located or should we  move our lands to another location at
Pennsic? 

While we understand  that this will generate discussion on the list We would
offer to filed this  discussion directly by sending His Highness an email  at
<mailto:logan at ebonwoulfe.com> logan at ebonwoulfe.com or feel free to  discuss
it here on the merry rose.  If there is a call to move  Atlantia know that
Her Highness and I will do all We can to see it  done.  If not, then it is a
moot point.  Either way We seek your  counsel and thank you for your input.


Regards.
Logan and  Esa
Prince and Princess, Atlantia
