Hi all,
We spent a long time going through the sheet again tonight. It's taking up lots of our collective time that we could be practising and I'd rather it took up your personal time that you could be watching TV/commuting/knitting etc. PLEASE LOOK AT THE SHEET AND TELL US YOUR AVAILABILITY https://docs.google.com/document/d/11XHQc6j0g7HQto7rhOs6k0bfkw-XmFb8jmCeRa48IRI/edit?login=1&pli=1&overridemobile=true. Rachel is frequently updating the sheet so why not set an alarm on your phone to make sure you update your availability once or twice a week? Even a maybe answer is better than no answer at all. Some people said they couldn't get the sheet on their phones. Have you tried downloading the new version of google docs from the app store/google play? I just have and it works fine on my phone now.
In general we discussed:
1) There are three potential events in 10 days - 21, 26 and 29 June. Perhaps it would be better to do just two of them. Some people felt it would be better to focus on the external events to raise our profile, some people felt crawls were important for the money. If you're signed up for any of these events and have an opinion about which, if any, we should drop please email ASAP.
2) 6 July with Greenwich - unless one maybe person becomes a yes person we can't do this. Please can the 'no replies' fill in their availability - we've got a good chance of getting a definitive answer on this one, even if it is 'no'.
3) Croydon on 19 August - there wasn't much enthusiasm for this. If you'd like to encourage people that it's an event worth attending, please speak now!
4) Faversham - if we go it might be nice to camp. Rachel, can you find out what the sleeping arrangements might be?
5) Several people said they'd like to prioritise Rockingham over Godalming or Norwich for the weekend of 13 Sept. It would be good to get info on timings. We haven't assumed that your answer for Rockingham would be the same as your answer for Godalming so please fill this is separately.
6) At some point in the future Jo will organise to have an extended business session to discuss what we should do with our money.
See you next week,
Ffion x
