[Steppes] Moving Business Meeting

[Sir Morgan Buchanan]

Just thinking outside the box a bit....

Lynea makes a good point, in that not a ton of fighters have historically 
attended business meeting, even when there was no conflict.  I tend to agree 
that the people who attend something should have more say in the matter than 
the people who don't attend a thing...even if the people who don't attend 
are in that situation becuase they supposedly can't do so... because there's 
no guarantee that if concessions are made to accomodate them, that they'll 
actually start to attend.

So, in the spirt of thinking of other solutions...  It seems to me that this 
is happening because there are a bunch of fighters from the practice who are 
interested in attending business meeting, but can't do so because of the 
conflict?

What about moving the Tuesday practice ON THE WEEK OF BUSINESS MEETING to 
Wednesday or Thursday?  Again, of course, communication to the community 
would be key.  But this might gain additional exposure, if the park that 
practice is at has "different" crowds on differnet nights of the week, we'd 
gain exposure to the Wednesday or Thursday crowd, business meeting wouldn't 
move...  I mean, if "most" of the Tuesday fighters are saying, "We want 
business meeting on Wednesday so we can do both" they're basically saying 
they're committing to Tuesday and Wednesday (as an example).  So move 
practice night instead of Business Meeting night for that week.  Just a 
thought.

I still haven't seen a reason to not move business meeting other than 
personal preference and non-SCA activity conflicts, but I am usually loathe 
to move something to aid one person at the expense of someone else who's 
attending already.... unless that person being accomodated is critical.  But 
there's another solution to chew on.
