[MR] Coronation bids up North

[Karen Setze]

Speaking as someone up north (in Bright Hills) who submitted a coronation bid 
last week --

being able to do so with two weeks notice did involve a small miracle -- I had 
happened to already had a deposit down on a site I consider suitable for 
coronation or crown, and which amazingly did turn out to be available for the 
coronation weekend.

If we want to follow up on the idea of pre-approved sites for the various 
regions of the kingdom, I've got a few sites (including the one I'm using in my 
bid) that I'd like to propose for the list.

Of course, having baronial officers willing to consider and approve the bid in 
an online meeting, and having the amazing Bright Hills Cook's Guild with the 
capacity to turn an amazing feast for 200+ doesn't hurt either. :-D

May I offer one more factor to consider re: coronation bids?  In northern 
Atlantia, we generally have to reserve sites as much as year ahead.  There 
aren't that many sites and the population pressures up here are high.   If the 
planning time by custom is 5-7 months, that doesn't usually give us time to 
reserve a site up north unless we get unusually lucky.
