The library has not been very friendly to the group for several years now. Free space is a premium in any county/town, but most places grandfather in long standing groups that are open to the public (Fredericksburg library system does). The fact that you have to set up the room/take down the room before closing and they want you out closer to 8:30 does not make for a friendly use.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">I think the Canton pays $45 a month to use the CCC, but for that price we get the building every Tuesday except for one night that they have their meeting. We use to move to another room on that night, but they have since rented out that space to a student. Still, if we wish to use the site on the occasional Saturday, they allow us.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif">Using a church site is not a bad place.

<p dir="ltr">Is that working out, though? The fact we can only reserve up to two months out, and the system gives us grief if we have two meetings within 30 days of each other is a real pain to deal with. Then we have situations like November, where we couldn't register, yet, and they already booked over our usual slot the first two Wednesdays, so here we are, two months out, and we need to find an alternative. The booking website isn't the best, either.</p>
<p dir="ltr">On the other hand: It is free and easily accommodates us.</p>
<p dir="ltr">At last night's meeting we talked about possibly moving to another location, and two questions came up.<br>
First, are we willing to pay for a location if it means the Barony has a regular meeting space we can book for the entire year? Second, are we wedded to Wednesday night?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Lady Gunnora has access to a church with rooms that we can book, on the first Tuesday, for a year, for the cost of a donation (our choice). We discussed what might be fair and were thinking about $20-$30/use might be fair (paid from Baronial coffers).</p>
<p dir="ltr">Before committing to such an action, I wanted to put this out out there for comments, particularly to those in the Barony who can't make the current meetings to see if a change would draw more people. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I'm asking for people to respond by next Friday, the 12th. Depending on comments, I may ask for a vote over the weekend as to whether or not we should move forward with Gunnora's location, possibly as soon as October.</p>
<p dir="ltr">So please let us know your feelings.</p>
