atw: Re: Here it is: The Queen's English?

Thanx for pointing it out Bob.  I was asked to remove the 'of our Lord' in case 
it offended anyone not Christian, so it's not there anymore.

        I meant I'm seeking approval of those who helped provide the wording 
:0) But yes, my workplace is a little government-like!
        
        OK, here's the wording I'm proposing with thanx to Susy North and Peter 
G Martin for much of it:
        
        Here ye, hear ye!
        
        Her Majesty the Queen hereby commands the presence of her loyal 
subjects for an equestrian contention between certain of her Colonial servants 
domiciled in portions of her kingdoms now known as Australia and certain other 
outlanders not so fortunate as to be so permanently settled therein, the game 
to be known by this her decree, as the Royal Polo ~ Australian vs. Expats. 
        
        Subjects should gather in the grounds of the South Oval as the clock 
strikes midday on the eighth day of June in the two thousand and seventh year 
of our lord. Subjects not attired with a hat and sunscreen shall be beheaded. 
        
        Faithful subjects will be rewarded with canapés and mocktails at 
conclusion of the Royal Polo.
        
        The Royal Polo is held in honour of the celebration of the anniversary 
of her majesty's illustrious ancestors' birth, which has been an occasion, in 
times past, to assemble for the purposes of gambolling and sundry other 
nefarious endeavours, and for the pursuit of frivolity and licentiousness. 
        
        XXX commands acknowledgement of your attendance by the first day of 
June in the two thousand and seventh year of our lord.
