Preparations for the up coming state visit by The Schulmanian Delegation, headed by Emissaries Archduke B. B. Bower and Fleet Captain Splunt, are well under way.   The party will be hosted by His Excellency, Ambassador Wizard Prince Schonheit - Director General of the Wirdle Canine Council in the Grand Schulmauckland Government House, surrounded by an extensive park estate.

The house staff are busy with preparations, especially in the kitchens where the finest cuts of New Zealand beef and lamb are being prepared in accordance with the strictest attention to detail for the planned State Fancy Feast.  

The Schulmauckland Government House is affectionately referred to by the household staff as...  "The Big House".

A service of thanksgiving celebrating the newly formed alliance between the Bureau of Feline Affairs and the Wirdle Canine Council is planned to be held in the chapel of Saint Curious situated within the spacious grounds of the Schulmauckland Government Estate.  

It is hoped that parties from both countries will take full advantage of the opportunity to network,  problem solve and cooperate on such weighty issues such as the recent global H1N1 influenza outbreak that threatens both feline and canine communities alike.

No detail big or small has been ommited in the planning.  The grounds staff are also preparing the Sand Wirdle... or  "The Little House" for the convenience of the Feline members of the delegation.   The sand has been especially selected to provide the softest and most luxuriant facility for all the necessary needs of relief during their stay.

The canine community of Schulmauckland eagerly awaits the arrival of the Schulmanian delegation and will be very honoured to greet and host the party on their arrival on the 19th of June at the Port of Schulmauckland.
