OK I just realised that this is not the edited version. I shall go and fix it tomorrow when I can get back on the laptop, wait, I shall revise it today when I am on my other computer.

Sorry about that.

Really the only things that changed were some typos and a wee bit of tweaking.

Later

A wee bit?

 

Oh darn I have to reread the whole thing AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

Poor Nyborg!

It's looking awesome so far to me! Well done!

 

The other version had the corrections already in it, you know things like spacing and parenthesis (Spelling???) that sort of stuff.

I'm a bit of a psychopath when it comes to perfection....
Although my doctor tells me that with the Lupus, I'm going to have to back off a bit.

Sorry that you had to reread them Henry....

I know the rules say minors have to be accompanied by a parent but does that affect say me or Jaron, we are both 16 and have been to meetings or events before w/o an adult with us

 

I'll get with the rest of the Sith Council and unofficially, I don't see a problem with you guys.

From my point of view, if you can drive, you can be at stuff without an adult...Our events are family friendly.

So, I will get you an answer ASAP.

I'll have to go back and look if it just says Minor or 18 and under....

I do concur with all the rules and regulations set forth by the Sith Head Council. I fully endorse them. That wasn't to British was it!? Hey to everybody by the way!!

 

It was a tiny wee bit British, but thats ok.

Thanks for looking them over. (And for helping me proof them in the first place)

Hey to you too.

Addressing your issue about age and minors.

If you have a liscense, you are welcome to bring yourself to any event.

However, the host has the discretion to limit this rule in cases such as an event that will have alcohol served.

But, I really don't see this as developing into a problem.;

 

Niiiiiice Bylaws!

 

Well, you know that you had a hand in creating them....

Thanks for everything Tim!!!

We still love you!

 

Bumping so the newbies know this is here...

Any changes, updates, or suggestions are welcome.

Just pm me with any ideas or complaints you may have about the by-laws.

Thanks
Bacon
