Regarding Barony Meetings
:
4) Move away from weeknights to Sunday afternoons (probably associated with
fighter/fencing practice).
Having meetings during the week always left those of us who travel for
business out in the cold - I was glad to see this mentioned as I was never
in town for any of the Barony or Guild or any other kind of meeting. Of
course, the reason I got a new job was that the old one took up too much of
my life!
Just another thought! :-)

This choice leaves a lot of church-goers out in the cold - one reason I
never make fight practice.
Just a thought! :)

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

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).
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.
2) Keep the main purpose of the meeting socializing, including having more
time to talk to newcomers
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)
4) Move away from weeknights to Sunday afternoons (probably associated with
fighter/fencing practice).
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.
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.
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.
8) More advertising of the Barony meeting, both with posted flyers (e.g. at
Inner Vagabond, around campuses) and online.
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.
10) Since the meetings would be less frequent, use the BMDL mailing lists
for dissemination of recent information
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!
In Service,
Byron and Ariella
