05 Jan 09 First Organizational Meeting: A Recap
We had our first organizational meeting Saturday, November 15th. We met at Karin and Tom’s house in Regent Square for a pancake and ice cream brunch (yum!). In attendance were: Barbara, Tory, Karin, Tom, and Jim Morgan.
Items up for discussion: when to practice, where to practice, what traditions to do, names for the team, kit, who should be fore(s), squire, bag, etc., possible May Day dance sites.
Decisions that were made:
- After a discussion of what traditions people who were at the meeting had done, a decision was made to dance: Border (in the style of the Bassett Street Hounds) and Bucknell
- Fore(s) are: Karin (Border) and Tory (Bucknell)
- Squire is: Karin (how did this happen?? :P)
Actions that were volunteered to be undertaken by various members:
- Karin, Jim and Tory volunteered to look into various practice spaces — Karin was going to look into CMU and possibly Mifflin Church, Tory was going to look into the Wilkins School, and Jim was going to look into the Friends meetinghouse.
- Karin volunteered to email all the people who weren’t able to be at the meeting and let them know what happened at the meeting (This didn’t happen, sorry. This blog post shall suffice to bring everyone up to speed.)
- Karin volunteered to make a “When is Good” page to find out the best times for people to meet for practices. (Saturday afternoons turned out to be good for just about everyone, and one of the only times that was good for certain people, so we decided to go with that.)
- Tory volunteered to look into when we could schedule a Bucknell workshop to help us get started with that tradition.
Other things on the agenda were discussed in a somewhat random and haphazard fashion, but no decisions were made.
