hmmm, a reminder for something that nobody would know about if they hadn't been at the last meeting...hmmmm.....<br><br>how about somebody posting minutes from the meeting on the barony list, just so that people know what went on if they couldn't make it?<br>
<br>why i quit going? nothing like spending 40 mins in the car driving to a meeting that is only 20 mins long and then *poof* everybody disappears to who knows where....seemed kinda pointless to go at all.....<br><br>rufina<br>

Greetings,<br>
<br>
I wish to remind everyone that we will be having a discussion at Barony<br>
meeting concerning the role of Barony meeting and how to increase<br>
attendance. This discussion will be held after the other business is<br>
conducted, which we will keep short to allow for plenty of time for<br>
discussion.<br>
<br>
Some points we plan to discuss are:<br>
- Does Barony Meeting still provide a function to the Barony? Should it<br>
be discontinued?<br>
- If the meeting does provide a service, what is it now? What should it be?<br>
- Why has attendance declined so drastically?<br>
- How do Parking, Timing, Location affect the meeting? Should these be<br>
changed?<br>
- It seems that most people get information from the internet now. How<br>
is that affecting the meeting?<br>
- Is the current meeting format (ordered announcements) still valid?<br>
- Is there a better format? What would you like to see?<br>
- What is the populace's opinion about short classes added to, or<br>
instead of, the meeting. Would it help? How would such a thing be<br>
accomplished?<br>
- What is the populace's opinion about adding food to the equation<br>
(potluck, meeting at a restaurant, taking turns, etc)? Would it help?<br>
How would such a thing be accomplished?<br>
<br>
If you are unable to attend Barony meeting and wish to provide input,<br>
please email me at <a href="mailto:seneschal@debatablelands.org">seneschal@debatablelands.org</a> and I will bring it to<br>
the meeting.<br>
