Business Meeting Notes
We got a lot done last month.   There are a bunch of new changes and a revisit to who we are.  The meeting pretty much followed the What's New from last month.

1) The Group & "What do we want out of the Circle?"

What do you want most out of the Circle?

We did not hear from Brian, Jamie, Laura, Matt H, Matt R, Matt S, Raz, Shaun, Tom & Trish.  If any of you guys would like to answer this questions I'd love hear it.

Circle weekends:
The 2nd weekend of evey month besides Dec the circle will get together for something.   2nd weekend is the one with the 2nd Sat (not nessisarily 2nd Fri).  Head over to the Circle Calendar to take a look at which weekends they are and what we've got so far.

2) Memberships & Circle Costs
Membership, Dues & Fees
I could write it all down again but easiler if you just go the Membership  page.

Votes:
Every memeber gets one

Adventure Reimbursement:
Again follow link.  This time to a new page: Adventure Rules

Circle Debts:
If you are paid for the current year you are elidgable to play that year.  Old debts do not prevent players from participating.

Like skills these cannot be dispelled by spells (they can be countered by skills though).  See Undead for examples

4) Weapons
We are not switching to Ultralights.  An attempt may be made to create a middle ground weapon but so far I have only pulled in $15 towards R&D.  If we want something other than the standard weapons then people need to chip in before the upcoming  weapon remaking session. I'm done asking for contributions, because
1) I've asked several times and
2) I'm happy with the old ones. 
The ball's in your court guys.

5) The Combat System
Approved

6) Calendar:  Circle Calendar

7) Development of a Woodland Barn:
Andrew pitched this idea.  The area around the old troll cave has recently become the site for several woodland barns and mazes.  Andy proposed that we designate that area for those purposes perminently.   There was much discussions about what to build and planning but I think a good place to start would be simply this. 
If you are building a woodland barn, use that site.  Whenever possible build your barn/maze with the idea that the supports and such should be perminent.  Instead putting up strings, use 2X4's (or even 2X3's)  That way after a few years we could have an area that will keep becoming easier to to use and lend itself to elaboration (if AM does not have to deal with supports he has time/funds to build an altar, platform, whatever)
