<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Francois,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well I for one attend every meeting unless an
emergency comes up and that very rarely happens. I can also tell you that
Dietrich is there every populace. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have to agree that an outdoor location is not a
good idea even during the day in this part of the world. Between weather
and bugs I don't think we would be very happy for very long. And let's not
forget the fact that we'd have to change meetings when we have events that we're
traveling to. I know I don't want to come back from Dallas on Sunday
morning and have to rush to a meeting. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How many people attend? Well, in general I
think we have around 20 or more for every meeting. In a Barony of how many
active? Well that I can't answer. But I think most people would have
less problems going to a meeting on a weeknight than on a weekend.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Just my 2 cents.</FONT></DIV>

Populace</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Greetings!<BR><BR>Lisabetta brought up a good point about would
moving the populace meeting increase the attendance and the social
interaction? <BR><BR>Step back the suggestion of location and
think about the goal. How many people attend <BR>the meetings on Monday
at Ryans? How many people are not attending because
of<BR>date or location? And if a change of venue and/or time, who
would we likely lose and <BR>who would we gain?
<BR><BR>There are a couple people that have said they could not attend the
meeting on Sunday, <BR>are you attending the meetings now? I
know that because of my job and the travel I<BR>do for that job I am seldom
able to attend on a weeknight. All the same, I am not sure <BR>and
outdoor location in this part of the world would be predictable and consistant
enough <BR>to have a regular meeting. Between the rain, cold, heat and
bugs... <BR><BR>I would love to see a more interaction in
the barony. A more social and more heavily <BR>attended populace
meeting is a good step. <BR><BR>And now the shameless
plug: Remember and spread the word, On February 11 at<BR>the
home of Francois and Perronnelle we are hosting a REVEL! This is
gathering and<BR>party for all our fellows in the Barony and even if it is not
an official SCA event Garb is <BR>suggested. Feel free to show up
from 8pm onwards. <BR><BR>--Francois<BR><BR>ps: I do find it
amuzing that even our mailing lists are split in twain, must be
something<BR>about Two Towers.... <BR><BR>
