It looks as it the EU will be Rolled into the RUM system,
and function as it did in our test run last spring, as a
Mini-RUM during A&S regional with classes for peopel to spend
thier day in while waiting for judging and scoreing to be
done.
It will contiinue to be run by the Evergreens, but
like last time all teachers will be welcomed.
Dispelling
Rumours about the first EU
We wanted to clear up some misconceptions
as to who could teach at the EU that have been circulating.
Many seemd to believe this was a "Evergreen
only" Or "Evergreen or higher" teaching venue. NOT
TRUE.
- ANYONE could teach. Some
teachers were asked directly, but every person who asked
the organizer to teach did so.
- In fact, An open call was put out on the kingdom list
for teachers in the months leading up to the event, and
some of those who taught came from that posting.
- While, It was primarily a feature of Oaken teachers,
(being it was at a premiere event Oaken,) many others
were not from the Oaken area. One came all the way from
Northshield, another "geographically-displaced" local
came from Aethelmarc.
- We had some teachers who were relative newbies with
out a single award (aoa or otherwise) and we had Laurels
and everyone in between. Rank was NOT an issue in recruting/selecting
teachers.
- In all about 6-7 Evergeeens taught that day, but over
half were NOT Evergreens when they signed up to teach.
Two were inducted into the order that evening, the rest
in the months preceeding the event.
We just wanted to clear that up before it propagated further.
