Howdy!

I'm going way back here...how many people remember "Presentation/Info 
Courts"?  When we were still part of Atenveldt I remember several 
instances where the Crown opened a "mini-court" so that announcements or 
personal presentations could be made.

I like the giving of gifts in non-court settings.  Mostly because one 
can't generally hear what the giver is saying, you rarely get to see 
what was given and it is usually intended for a specific person.  That 
time could be used in a manner more benefitting the populace who is 
patiently waiting for court business.

Incidentally, Presentation Courts usually took place at the end of a 
hall, during feast, or a regular break in activities. It was really 
effective and kept all the 'business items' together and kept court for 
the pomp and circumstance. It also gave people the option to listen to 
the business or go about their way.

Just some pennies,
