<DIV><FONT face=Calibri>I must also agree, even though I really don’t have much
to say cause I am not an officer but it is only fair...now I have been to the
meetings to where this conversation has come up, and I still agree with what was
suggested maybe not take the meeting away from there but simply move the
meeting, to per-say another restaurant, not take the meeting out of conroe area
but maybe in another location in town??? If Im stepping over any boundaries
please let me say it is NOT my intention...</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I agree with Volod. We should think about having a populace in the </DIV>
<DIV>Southern region. It is true that our Barony extends far and wide across
this</DIV>
<DIV>mighty Kingdom.</DIV>
<DIV>So I think we should keep Officers in the Southern Barony (with food) and
we</DIV>
<DIV>should hold populace there as well, maybe every 2 to 3 months.</DIV>

Populace issues - another thought<BR></FONT><BR>
<STYLE></STYLE>
<DIV>One more issue from Populace:</DIV>
<DIV>It has been suggested that there is not a need for a second "business"
meeting every month.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The second meeting is actually an "Officers" meeting where the details of a
group are worked out.</DIV>
<DIV>How many time have you heard someone say, </DIV>
<DIV>"Let's not get bogged down with the details right now. </DIV>
<DIV>We can work that out later when there's not so many people waiting on us."
?</DIV>
<DIV>I you delete the Officers Meeting, there is no later.</DIV>
<DIV>We either work it out at populace, or a small group will make the decisions
with little in-put from others.</DIV>
<DIV>There is a reason that almost all SCA groups have a "second" "Officers"
meeting.</DIV>
<DIV>It works very well.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>On top of that... and let me try to say this as gently as I can, as I do
not want to be offensive...</DIV>
<DIV>If you delete the Officers Meeting, you also delete the only meeting in the
south of our Barony.</DIV>
<DIV>Every time it is suggested that we do away with the southern meeting</DIV>
<DIV>( about once every two years ) </DIV>
<DIV>there are several of us that actually live down here that get our feelings
hurt.</DIV>
<DIV>We southerners ( the red-headed step-children of the Barony ) should not
have to deal with this so often.</DIV>
<DIV>I will ask again, just as I asked two years ago, </DIV>
<DIV>Should we have Populace Meet in the south every other month ?</DIV>
<DIV>I know that is not going to happen.</DIV>
<DIV>Should we let south Barony go to Gate's Edge or Stargate ?</DIV>
<DIV>Nobody wants to see that happen either.</DIV>
<DIV>I know that the people in Huntsville don't like to drive so far, but try to
be a little fair about things.</DIV>
<DIV>Southerners have to drive up every time there is a guild meeting or
workday or anything else.</DIV>
<DIV>We have had success with our recruiting efforts in the south lately.</DIV>
<DIV>Why would we want to take away the only local meeting ???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All that being said, I will point out that at Populace Meeting last
Thursday the room was FULL.</DIV>
<DIV>The system that we have in place seems to be working very well.</DIV>
<DIV>Why would we want to mess with that ?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In service to the Barony, Peace,</DIV>
<DIV>Volod NotVlad</DIV>
