Barony has policies and procedures in place to deal with this sort of
situation (which our Baronial Exchequer has already explained). Trying to
force this through the Emergency Financial Committee is *not* the proper way to
do this. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=062264210-24122007><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>What
you are seeking to do is akin to running an event - i.e. expecting the Barony to
be financially responsible for a obtaining a site, and expecting to be
reimbursed by collection of a "site fee". Your original proposal would
have the Barony aquiring a financial liability of over
$1,500. This is more than the budget for most events we have
run. Every event we run, from its initial conception onward, has to
be approved by the Barony, not just the Emergency Financial Committee.
Please do bring your proposal to the Baronial business meeting so that it can be
discussed and dealt with in the proper forum.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
