[Stargate] populace meetings

[Jennifer Smith]

Crystal, Melody my dear friend,
It would be great to see more of our families able to attend populace. That being said, I just don't know when else we could hold it. I work 8-5 (supposed ending time!) M-F and sometimes I can hardly make it to populace in time. 
Weekends might be the answer -- but the SCA holds its events on weekends! Oh well.
Maybe we should have virtual meetings ... only that would leave out all the people not on broadband.

I second Melody's words regarding 7:30 starting times for meetings.  I guess becoming a parent has opened my eyes to the changing face of Ansteorra:  more families are playing...or not playing because they can't attend late meetings...for example.  I know you can't please everyone all the time, or be all things to all people.  However, I would strongly advocate for reviewing the starting time for populace.  My son and I tried to attend populace meetings when we first moved to the Barony, but the time and location were not feasible for a young child.  Now that Nicholas is in Elementary School, it's impossible.  I would hazard a guess the some middle school parents would agree that the time and distance factor is very restrictive.  
   
  With a heavy sigh I gave up one phase of my SCA life upon becoming a parent and entered another.  In retrospect, however, I am a far richer person for doing so.  I just wish I could occasionally visit that other world.  Revising the meeting time and place may prove to be a good starting place.  
   
  Just my two cents,
