3. Board meeting times
Comments from Ralf supplied by email:
- it should be a fixed day and time of the week every 2 weeks. that way he can plan ahead
- last minute shifts as for this week are undesirable, and should only be done in the future if there's no quorum
- agreeing the time of the next meeting at the end of each board meeting is unworkable
Suggestion to have a quick poll 3 days before the meeting.
- If quorum isn’t met by the end of the day, we could send another doodle poll if quorum is critical.
- Catch up meeting to be filled in on details from meeting
This suggestion is accepted, Leah will do this.
4. John D. Hunter Plotting Contest
