[Artemisia] Arts and Sciences Dates

[Theodora (AKA Rachael)]

 I have already sent comments to Their Highnesses, but wanted to comment here. The travel time between Missoula, Montana (Barony of Sentinels' Keep) and Billings, Montana (Shire of Bronzehelm) can be 6 hours in good weather to upwards of eight in bad.  The possibility of the Northern Regoinal competition having major weather issues is significant also. It is actually an easier trip to go to Idaho Falls if the weather is questionable.

 Since you are talking of the regional competitions being truly "regional" and since distance can be a problem esp. in bad weather, it seems to me that it would be more sensible to hold the regional competitions when there is even a possibility of bad weather and hold the kingdom competition when you have the best possibility of good travel weather.  After all, it is a much simpler thing to reschedule a regional event as people don't have to make such elaborate plans to reach a destination that is closer to them.  Changing plans that involve a day or more of travel each way is much more difficult.  Also, people are much more willing to travel over known roads even when the weather is a bit more chancy.  Taking on an unknown road in chancy weather is not only frightening but also more dangerous. Anyway, my tuppence into the pot. Lady Constance de la RoseBarony of Loch SalannKingdom of Artemisia
