I think the idea to move meetings around is great idea it will give just about everybody chance to have a meeting in there neck of the woods

I'm sure there are an assortment of other places that can be used for less money then a Hotel, and then have 4 people run out and pick up 25 pizzas.
(Elks, Church halls, small businesses that might have meeting rooms that they would be willing to donate the use of... etc.)
Wakefield is great, but the size is too small, and the parking is horrible.
The Hotel is imho a luxury that isn't necessary and is simply wasted BRS money.
I'm not as active as many of you, so my voice isn't as loud... but what's the goal here? To pick a good central location? To pick a convient place (in both parking and size?)

I don't think it reduce attendees at all. We travel a 1 to 1 1/2 hours all the time to go to meetings & it be nice not have have to once in awhile. after the meeting we check out LFS , it give us a to find things & chak out some stores
I think it would be a fair thing to do , give everybody (most) a meeting in their neck of the woods
you just dont get it
alternating locations will draw some new people in those areas that dont go to all the meetings but would if a meeting was conducted in their general area. other die hards would go to most regardless where they were held. Unless everyone lived along the circumference of the circle surrounding the 'central' location it wouldn't be equalled travelling distance. does that help?

No. Let me give you an example. Let's say someone lives in... Fairhaven 
If we have two meetings in Boston then the total distance travelled (one way) would be:
2x60miles = 120 miles
Now if, instead, we have one meeting in Nashua NH and the second meeting in Fall River, the total distance travelled would be:
100 miles (Fairhaven-Nashua) + 18 miles (Fairhaven-Fall River) = 118 miles
So this member would have (approximately) travelled in total the same distance and there would be no difference on having both meetings in Boston or one in Nashua and another in Fall River.

Armando sounds like you don't like the idea because you live in Boston & if the meetings are moved around you would have to travel further. How long have you had the meetings in your back yard . It's time other people have them in there back yard
assumptions are everyone will always go. there are many 'members' who dont go because of travel distances, extra time, baby sitters who knows. fresh blood, fresh frags. Some old may not go some new may go. same place all the time would have some members a mile to travel, others 20, others 60 ALL the time, fair? I think not. if the aim is to make it convienent for a 'core' group then keep it in one area. Maybe new clubs should be formed and everyone can have an opportunity to be involved.

No need to split ,we have a great group & if we move meetings around i think we will grow bigger & have more happy members
