Next meeting, Saturday, Feb 5th **New Host Welcome**

I like that idea as it will allow some business to actually get done however I wonder if perhaps the first hour should be club business then after all business is covered we could move to the rest.

It may be worthwhile to come up with a loose meeting outline and get everyone's input.

Having a club business session at the beginning of each meeting, for the 1st hour, or "until we're done" and then the casual meeting / social afterwards sounds good to me.

We can record the highlights of what was said in the club business sessions and post them on the forum. That way those who did not come to a given meeting can see what was discussed, we can do this starting next meeting.

I'm not a fan of Robert's Rules of Order, since its so dry and long-winded, but a very basic system of getting stuff done is a good plan.

Would that be the hour within which only one or two people show up :shock: or would people start showing up on time??
Just a thought...

Good point, keeners decide...everyone else drinks.

[Dave Savoie]

This could be done for sure as most meetings end up getting off track due to great beer !!!!

[Kyle]

yes, probably the beer should remain closed until club business has been concluded at each meeting.

[Richard]

I'm gonna start a poll...
