I did the usual of going through the posts & put 1 next to peoples names when they can attend & a 0 when the say the can not make it for each of the dates. If people dont say when they can do it they get a ? next to there name for each weekend.

This means that JackBR, Spandit & WildBill did not give a specific date when they could make it (& by implication saying dates they could not make it) or say when they could not make it (by implication also saying when they could make it).

The result is this:

So. What to do?

We could leave it to those who have not said what dates they can do to pick dates & choose that way by adding their votes to the calculation; but that is not really fair on those of us who said what dates we can do.
OR
I can start a list where we all put down a single date & choose the most poplular, assuming we dont get a tie break (in which case I get a coin out...)
OR
I can just choose one, which is what has happened before. Bonfire night would probably be factored in to this one, as a lot of people are doing things that night.

What do you think? I think we need a decision by the weekend.

So. What to do?.

Oops.

Best bet in my mind is to just pick a date and if people can make it, brilliant, if they cant, well there's always next time, afraid you are never going to get a consensus on dates, the only way forward is as suggested, pick a date and stick with it.
 
I'm in Lewes for bonfire night but should be free the other weekends. I don't work Monday to Friday (as in I do shift work) so could be up for midweek meets if anyone else is in the same boat
 
Sorry, I can't pin specific weekends at the moment that I can make as work is a little volatile. I just know I can't do the 4th - 6th as I'm away with work already. Best bet is pick a weekend and if I can I'll see you there ;-)
 
OK, Thanks for your input. I will think this over & pick a date in the next day or two, that way people will have more time to book it in their diaries. I am planning to do 1 a month from now on, depending on the weather if we get snow etc.. That way everyone has a chance of coming to one. Maybe in the Spring we can have a Mega meet, advertised further in advanced, so that more people come come. Just an idea.

Grand idea, as a thought if you/we decide on a mega meet, do it in the school holidays as that way i think more people would be inclined to come along as they could bring their kids with them and as the pennies get tighter for a lot of people, you might find some people also using the meet as a short holiday as well - just a thought
 
I'm hoping it will be the 5/6 as I'm chomping at the bit to get out in them woods.
I'll toss a coin. heads I win tails you loose. :lmao:

Hello

I have a bit more time tonight to introduce myself, I’m Luke a friend of Neil1. I would like to come along to the November meet, I can bring venison for a communal meal should that be of interest. I can also bring along my tracking gear should anyone want to know more about this subject. If a lot of people have an interest in tracking I could teach a lesson of approx. 1-2 hours, just let me know. Any questions just ask, Neil1 will vouch for me.

I cannot do the 5-6th.

Regards to all

Luke
