The English Councils

That's right...The English Councils...not to be confused with the English Channel, which by the way, we did not cross on this trip.

Yeah Baby! The House of Warrick & Greenbriar captured by Sir Dayvd at Carnaby Street in London...where the swinging 60's a la Austin Powers was happening!

Not only did we eat, drink, think and be merry on our way through England (and did we ever...it was like Sherman marching through Atlanta on his way to the sea!)...we also took the rare opportunity to have some face to face...mano y mano...brainstorming Founding Father's time with me...Sir Hook of Warrick, Sir Bowie of Greenbriar and Sir Dayvd of Oxfordshire. The results were three Councils...and here's the highlights:

The Council of Hyde Park - It was decided that we need to have more of our fellow Knights and Ladies join the blog as writers. Not only are the Founding Father's brains being taxed beyond measure in coming up with new and interesting posts daily...but in the Spirit of Unity through Diversity...we feel that some fresh perspectives would enhance our merry clan. We have begun to invite members to write, of which many have already accepted and a few have participated. If you are an avid reader of our blog and wish to share your thoughts and ideas, please give us your email address by commenting to this blog and we will add you to our author list. Remember one of our most important tenants...we are free to create without judgement!

The Council of Oxfordshire - Realizing the great wealth of ideas and writings in our archives...and the need to spread the message of KMSA...it was decided that each Founding Father will compile a list of at least 10 of their best blogs. After compilation, we will review them and begin the process of writing and editing a book for publishing. What better place to have such a discussion than in the place where C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien wrote?

The Council of Somerset - It was here that we where challenged and lived up to our motto of Unity through Diversity, Freedom of Judgement and to Endeavor to Engage. This became very clear with our experience in Frome. During this Council we decided that the British side of our Society needs to expand its membership and participation with their brothers across the pond. We also decided to revive interest in simple Pub games back in the States, with the potential to market KMSA brand Pub Games.

So there you have it...once again...as true Knights...we have raised the bar and challenged ourselves to live to our fullest potential. Will you join us?
