hello again. I'm really glad to read new responses. thanks all. I shall try to model a short goround of my responses and please don't mind (like I did, sorry!) if something important to you is not included here.
the signatures on Wednesday favoured 13th may but lets hear this weekend if any other attenders cant do it like steve and someone then tell us theyve booked...
could everyone post by the 10th of May any ongoing regular UNAVAILABLE sundays in the month ... no preferences showed in Wednesday responses and I want us to be able to confirm a choice for this by our dance hopefully on the 13th. THANKS
Laurence Richard Ben Myself and I hope Stephen have so far committed to a core group so I hope ive got it right... Lets go with that but not exclude a few more who are quite likely to step up in these formative weeks...not least cos any of us might appreciate the option to step back ... thoughts about keeping this provisional for now while keeping it simple
id like to propose that the core group agrees to process admin and selected important issues of style substance and form WITHOUT GETTING BOGGED DOWN OR EXCLUSIVE around the latter. that way attenders and interested others can enjoy a wider freer discussion of preferences and needs on the forum, which the core group could respond to on the forum. hopefully we will find consensus as forum is used about qs like... does the core group need a separate group email ? lets see what helps us balance focus simplicity transparency and inclusion...
for Richard.. can we not equate or tie holding an evening and core group work. theyre likely to be much the same people but it is really important I think to invite holders who don't want to be core and equally core members who prefer not to hold an evening. we need and can afford flex on this. I'm committed to the core group for essential decisions and actions. I personally am also interested and available to hold a group whenever. But these two are very different... aren't they??
arising from Bens... I'm focussed on facilitating and beginning core work like setting dates for 2018 and lining up holders and music and qs of promotion. but yes several attenders want to talk about sequence shape mix of move with sharing but I'm not hearing detail of what people want and for me I don't want one pattern fixed. I do want the variety and experiment weve had and I THINK HAVE TO ACCEPT given every holder wants to and will do it all his way. in general I believe the vote for variety would be atleast as strong as the vote for regularity.. but I stand to be corrected. I suggest that dates and a functioning core group AND forum AND HEALING HANDS OF TIME! may relieve some of the impulse to define the shape of the evenings... I ALSO believe I remember passionate voices for free consensual group process on the night...
I hope this is useful and fee fi fo for forums.. fora? .. oh for the wings of a ...
