[MR] Kingdom Event Bids in General

[David Ritterskamp]

Two points:
 
1.  Stefan's idea is tempting but I'm with the "non scriptum non est" crowd... if you don't write it down, it didn't happen.  I'd rather nail down specific language at this point.
 
2.  Sir Theron's point about sites is spot on.  The only thing I'd add to it is that there is no such thing as a bad event site - there is only a site that is best suited to support a specific type of event.

There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. -Niccolo M.

> Why does this have to be changed? Nothing in that statement says anything about having the bids come up with a new site. If the kingdom has already reserved a site, then all this does is say that the bids need to be for that site. In fact, from my experience in running various local SCA events, having the site already taken care of, makes it easier to plan an event.
