Hi Margaret,<br>
<br>
The room itself worked decently enough, but it was located 2 floors<br>
down and around a tricky corner. I think we lost a lot of people who<br>
just couldn't find it, even with people on guard duty at the front<br>
door telling folks where to go. If we cannot find anything else, then<br>
it is a room that's large enough for our needs.<br>
<br>
Is it possible to get anything in the UC for Barony meeting? Having<br>
the garage and the lot across from Hamburg Hall may help out our cause<br>
with people who think parking is bad on the flagstaff side of campus.<br>
Though I've never had a problem, even with the extended exhibit hours<br>
at Phipps.<br>
<br>
I think even on our biggest nights that we haven't had over 50 at<br>
barony meeting in 5 years, that includes elections. Last night we<br>
barely had 20, but I think that under 30 remains a current average.<br>
If Peter/Wright/Mackenna were open in the UC, that would be a fine<br>
location for Barony meeting.<br>
<br>

Last night's Barony meeting focused on brainstorming about how to make Barony meetings better and increase attendance. Here are some main ideas that most people seemed to agree upon. We'd like to hear comments from everyone in the Barony (so please forward this to anyone you know who is not on the above lists).<br>
<br>
1) Keep the formal "business" part shorter with very brief announcements by officers (most of that information now comes out in a more timely manner on websites, the BMDL list, or more specific lists, etc.). Last night we got through all the "business" part in just over 15 minutes.<br>
<br>
2) Keep the main purpose of the meeting socializing, including having more time to talk to newcomers<br>
<br>
3) Have Barony meeting every other month to increase the importance and give it a "mini-event" feel (have the Officers meeting in some form every month since there is business to address every month)<br>
<br>
4) Move away from weeknights to Sunday afternoons (probably associated with fighter/fencing practice).<br>
<br>
5) Have potluck food (bringing food not required but nice if you can). Our Exchequer mentioned this can be subsidized by Barony funds if needed.<br>
<br>
6) Have Barony meetings located centrally most of the time. Try to get large rooms at CMU or Pitt or use Washington Blvd site in warmer weather. Distribute detailed parking information for people who don't know the Oakland area well.<br>
<br>
7) Try to have some particular Guild or Barony group present after the business part of the meeting is over to allow all comers to see the people in that group and more information on what they do (less intimidating and easier to access than showing up for the first time at a certain practice on one's own). This would not be "mandatory" but available as part of the Barony meeting.<br>
<br>
8) More advertising of the Barony meeting, both with posted flyers (e.g. at Inner Vagabond, around campuses) and online.<br>
<br>
9) Updates to the Cour d'Or and Barony webpage (Clemente and Arianna have started some of this already) to have a more attractive web-based presence.<br>
<br>
10) Since the meetings would be less frequent, use the BMDL mailing lists for dissemination of recent information<br>
<br>
Please let the Barony know if these changes would increase your attendance at Barony meetings or not and why. Any further suggestions are more than welcome!<br>
<br>
In Service,<br>
Byron and Ariella<br>
