After some discussion we finally
decided we would get together for a meeting Online using ZOOM
and hosted by Rex.
This was for our first meeting of
what should be the 2020-21 year but due to the lockdown
situation we decided it would be better to hold a more formal
AGM style 'handover' meeting as soon as practically possible
after the lockdown situation will allow. This is unlikely to be
before our dinner meeting due on 3rd September, and could be in
October, or even November!
Anyway, we managed to conduct a
little business, the meeting followed some sort of pattern, and
most members seemed to be able to follow what proceedings there
were! There was even some banter along the way!
The 7th May meeting had around 35
attendees, so was felt to be a success. This is shown when you
view the first 2 pictures below.
Rex decided in his wisdom to hold
a Countdown style quiz once basic business was concluded but
this seemed to quickly disperse at least half the members!
(Probably most of the rest had fallen asleep!)
However, the general consensus
seemed to be that it had gone much better than anticipated, thus
we will continue with this method to hold meetings until such
time as lockdown restrictions end.
Having found this meeting
successful, Rex again invited those that wished to attend to
another meeting on the Third Thursday on 21st May, for an hour
of 'catch up and banter'. Amazingly 18 members attended this! So
more to come, it seems! The 3rd picture shows everyone who
attended that get together!
