<div>Hi All-</div>
<div> </div>
<div> The thrones were proposed for the frst time last night. The decision will be made in two weeks time.</div>
<div> </div>
<div> $2000 is the upper limit on the table as we have not yet sourced bids from artists to make the new regalia. We discussed the possibility of highly carved and gilt Glastonbury style chairs.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>-Gregoire.<br><br></div>

<div style="WORD-WRAP: break-word">Wow! We've run events on less. Made my eyes bug-out, and that hurts!
<div>First, if this was in previous meeting minutes, I apologize for missing any previous discussion.</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>Speaking as one of the artists who helped decorate the older illustrated MK Rpyal thrones (heh- did you know my coat of arms is on there?) I just have to ask, what is the nature of these thrones that they would have such an incredibly high price? My initial reaction without hearing any of the background is that this is a really high amount to spend on a piece of regalia that will get tossed around by volunteers, chipped, scratched, possibly broken in the back of vans, etc.</div>
<div>
<div><br></div>
<div>So what's the story? I am not meaning to shoot it down before hearing what the reason and justification might be, so I am really curious about how this idea came about and what are the details.</div>
