Cool, i might pop along. I dont think it a bad thing to have 2 nights, like ste said as long as it doesnt impact on thursday then it's fine. It's not like its a choice between tuesday and thursday.

I think its great that we got more numbers now so there is an option for extra practice on tuesday.

Will there be a key to get in?

ste should have a key, i might not come so dont rely on me for the keys

I dont have a key, think adam has one so il try and get his

Mug him if necessary.

You'll need a long extension cord

Right I'm up for a bit of training later, cant get there until 7ish though.

Early start last sunday was good, meant I really felt worked-out afterwards.

MHBP Update

Time to update on the progress of MHBP, post the presentation of a 2012 Plan by Andy, Rob and Neil.

After the Steering Group was elected last Thursday, we all voted for the logo/namestyle to represent our new group from a strong selection of ideas/concepts contributed by regular Manchester poloista. Ste's winning design is in the final throes of production before it can be released onto an unsuspecting public!

The Steering Group had its first full meeting yesterday, with Drew in attendance as an observer/passer-by.
**
Agenda for First Steering Group Meeting **
Wednesday February 8th 2012
11am Eighth Day Cooperative

1. Constitution Draft review
   
2. New Logo
   
3. Membership
   
4. Work Sub Groups planning session
   
5. Master Calendar planning session
   
6. Budget Outline
   
7. AOB
   
   

We discussed the issues of greatest priority within the Plan and are ready to co-ordinate the Sub Groups or teams - namely: Working; Social; Marketing; Training/Coaching; Outreach. We think we've identified the people we think are most appropriate to lead those teams and work with the Steering Group to deliver the Plan and hopefully those people will agree to their nomination/recruitment in due course! Once they are in place we will update here.

It was agreed that the subscription rates for full membership would be £24 for 2012 (including the commemorative shirt), with a discounted rate for Juniors (Under 16) and Ex Pat MCR folk of £6 (shirt extra @ cost price if required). We expect to issue membership forms in the next 7 days and have decided to only collect half the subscription in February, to help spread the cost (ie. £12). The remainder will be collected by end of April. Of course new members can pay the full amount in the first instance if they wish. To help this process, please can you update Rob via PM with an email address ASAP.

In AOB we also discussed the 'UKHBP' initiative; the local courts; and the launch event. After the meeting we cycled around to evaluate some potentially exciting courts for both the social and the tournament ambitions and plans we have for the year - a report to follow.

Once we have our planned bespoke web and forum presence, all the preparation material behind the 2012 Plan, the agenda and the minutes for each meeting will be made available to members in an archive section, along with a calendar with diarised Steering Group meetings.

I'll be an ex-pat member, and I'd love an MHBPA patch!

Send us $900 canadian or whatever £6 is and it's a deal

and it's MHBP no fucking A, fucking eh

Guys guys, I just discovered a stash of disposable BBQs behind my bed (???) Since at least 5 people are going to be standing in the cold on Thursday, how about we have some food as well?

If the reply is generally yea I'll bring the kit down. Just BYO meat.

food is good, obviously veggie crap too I would hope
