Re: Thought experiment

The new plan where the AGM is on or after Labor Day is not okay with me in principle. The idea behind that rule was to make it easy for students and teachers to attend, and I think that's important. It also often makes it easier to provide cheap housing in dorms.

That said, if we do end up with Labor Day weekend, suppose we suggested a ringing course in Orleans after the AGM?

I think I remember once when they delayed the AGM until October due to the heat, maybe in Charleston?

I was wondering about Orleans, but it would be the cape. In August. There's a rotary, so at least people won't have to make left turns onto Route 6. But cheap housing? Not so much...

Sorry to barge in. If Boston did host an event, is there another tower within driving distance that could host the ringing course, where maybe there aren't so many neighbors?

I support this idea, although am less keen on a ringing course... I think multiple days on the bells at Advent is asking too much of the neighbors. Can commit to help.

I'm willing to help with this if it's the Aug 25-26 weekend. I'd prefer that it did have a ringing course. I'm not willing to do it unless other people also help, so pipe up now!

I meant to write this yesterday, but forgot.
John B asked once why it has been so long since Boston hosted an AGM. I have been thinking about it, and wonder whether there would be any support for a very stripped-down weekend similar to the one in 2008 that was a celebration of the 25 years since the rehanging at Old North. What if we offere just a weekend, not a ourse. Only the usual ringing times at ON. Afternoon ringing each day at the Advent, lots of handbell opportunities. Working around AA so that we could have a dinner of potluck food in Moseley Hall. Those of us who have space could host people, otherwise we'd suggest Air b n b. No registration fee? No swag. No packets. My point here is to see if we can make it cost almost nothing, to make up for the fact that we are sort of at a corner of our ringing continent, so transportation is an expensive nuisance.
Thoughts? If a site is needed for next year's AGM, should I offer this idea?
