MEETING VENUE CHANGE?

The Club has been meeting at Table on the Green for several years. Options are being considered. A questionnaire was passed around at the January Meeting inquiring what would be most important to the Membership in a new meeting space.

There were 23 Members present at this meeting (about half of our Membership):

  1. 15 said it had to have good food.
  2. 12 said it needed to be moderately priced.
  3. 9 said it could be located in Pinehurst.
  4. 7 Said it could be located in Southern Pines.
  5. 7 said the restaurant would need to provide a separate room for us.
  6. 4 said that easy parking was preferred.
  7. 4 said a full bar was preferred.
  8. 2 said being able to Pot Luck would work for them.
  9. 1 said they would be good with a place where you could BYOB.
  10. 1 said they would be good with a place in Aberdeen.
  11. 1 also said they would be ok with a place in Carthage.

There were also some write in suggestions:

A room with space for screen and projector.

A place we can bring our dogs.

Large enough tables to speak with other members (more social).

OK MEMBERSHIP BEEHIVE – GET TO WORK:

Keep your eyes open for possible meeting locations:

Decent Food. Larger tables or only ONE HUGE table fitting 30 or so people. A separate room to hear one another.

You may know of a place. You may know of a private restaurant owner who would open up one Wednesday Night per month for our Private Meeting. Centrally located.

Feel free to ask the Owner/Manager if hosting our meeting would be desirable. And then contact a Board Member with what you find out.

AGILITY UPDATE

The January Agility Trials were the most successful in the club’s history. A big thank you to the committee: Sandy Fischer, Karen Wlodarski, Sherry Holm, Sara Peterson and Ursula Walsh.

The comparisons versus other events are detailed below. This was the first event at the new location, Rising Star. And the other marked difference was that we had two judges.

CONGRATS ALL. AND THANK YOU.
