The Close
Our meetings evolve into a social evening after the last scores have been tallied, and people start milling about, eating, and chatting.
The Follow-Up
The scorekeeper should distribute the tally to all participants. The secretary should distribute the minutes to all participants before the next meeting. The minutes usually take a little longer because they have to be composed, and typed or pasted up. Our minutes have ranged from text e-mails, to web pages, to multimedia slideshows.
This is the basic way in which our club has functioned. Perhaps you have experiences with other strategies and styles that have worked for you and your friends. Bottom line—make sure it’s fun!
