One of the biggest frustrations for the hosts of the gathering is trying to come to an agreed upon day for the gathering. I want to eliminate that frustration and create a "regular meeting day" or "days". To that end, there are several questions that we need answered by the majority of the group to pick the best day to meet.
1) Every two months? Or every three?
2) Keeping in mind that the gatherings are usually 11am-4pm, which days work for you: Saturday, Sunday, or either?
3) Which weekend of the month works better for your schedule: 1st, 3rd, or 4th? (2nd is the Bay Area Woodturners Assoc meeting, 5th is intermittent)
While not a formal decision question, one thing I'm thinking about is staggering Sat/Sun so people with regular conflicts on those days can at least attend every other meeting. I suppose the need for this will depend on the answer to Q2, but what are your feelings?
Other thought: no matter whether we pick every 2 or 3 months, we probably don't want to try to get a meeting going in December. People are usually just too hectic. So that would mean November is our "trigger month" for scheduling the rest of the year. Thoughts?
