[MR] Kingdom Crusades, etc.

[patoodle at aol.com]

Your Grace, last year's East Kingdom attempt to resurrect Kingdom Crusades was up against FOUR separate Atlantian events. Not only was the fair land of Storvik celebrating its 30th Baronial Birthday -- having begun its existence as a branch of the East Kingdom itself -- but Sacred Stone was also holding its Baronial Birthday, and both Caer Gelynniog and Marinus staged events as well. (See http://acorn.atlantia.sca.org/calendar.php?year=2009&month=9.)

With such festivities within our own borders, what need of out-of-Kingdom entertainment did Atlantians have that weekend?

Also, from my limited experience with the past Kingdom Crusades that were held in Bright Hills, I recall that the site was much more expensive than most places we have events, and some of the cabins, if not all, leaked all over when it rained.
