Pete,
What's the deal with only three games, half a day?
The meeting was actually quite successful. We agree to a general framework for a small set of bylaws with details to be worked on my a committee which will report back next month.
Nominations for officers were accepted and the election will be held prior to the next meeting via E-mail ballots. A letter about the voting procedure will be sent out shortly.
More importantly there was a general concern for the welfare and future direction of the club with much cooperation and no partisanship among the members. When asking for a volunteer to host the March meeting (Feb will be at my place, Sat Feb 13th @ the regular time - would love to see you there) we actually got volunteers to host everything up through the summer break with no arm twisting at all. It was a great trend and one I hope will continue.
And everyone left on friendly terms with a smile on their face.
Sometime it take a bit of a crisis to shake people out of their complacency and call them to action. It looks like this is what happened and we will come out of this just fine.
Tom
