In the Midrealm, each Royal Couple has their own Travel fund. They get
$200 when they win Crown Tournament, and $300 attTheir Coronation.
Branches donate money to these funds, and the Royals can use anything in the
fund for travel. There is RARELY any money left over.

In Calontir the Crown also has a Travel Fund which is set apart from the
General Fund after Crown Tournament. The victor (Prince then Crown) can
use this for travel related expenses such as gas or airfare anytime
between the victors Crown Tournament and De-Coronation. Additional
donations are often made to this fund by various groups raising the amount
available for that reign. At the end of the reign, any excess funds
return to the General Fund.

Good thing the Middle is so small. :-)
The West has a travel fund roughly like that described for An
Tir. During this year one or more of our Royalty have gone to
*every* Board Meeting. We have had Royalty at Pennsic. We have
had Kingdom Royalty in Oertha (Alaska) and our last Coronation
was held in Lochac (Australia). In spite of all this, the funds
held by the West have *increased* over the past year.
(Hmmm.... Perhaps I should nominate the current West Excehquer
for the Board....)

Ansteorra has a travel fund for the Crown. The Crown receives up to
$750/reign for travel within the Kingdom, up to $250 for travel to Gulf War or
Pennsic, and up to $150 for phone expenses. I say up to because they have
to show mileage to events or receipts to be reimbursed. This money comes
from the Kingdom's General Fund unless someone donates money specifically
to one of these 3 funds. The maximum amounts are set in the Kingdom
budget.
