Our fundraising events impact that schedule, and we meet more often immediately prior to them. We attempt to set our calendar far in advance to help our membership schedule their busy lives. Despite our best efforts, though, meeting locations and dates may change, and additional meetings, including committee meetings, may be scheduled. Informal meetings often include food, but not the sit-down dinner service provided at formal meetings. Informal meetings usually have the club picking up the tab for beverages, but within reason.
Informal meetings are often, well informal.
At these informal meetings, in addition to club business, members have been known to find themselves enjoying a barbecue or a baseball game or being involved in a billiards tournament, games of chance, pool parties, a night at the races, and even night golf. We don't even like them. That's not true, but it made you wonder. Actually, we have great relationships with the other Manitoba fields because of our support of them. All other clubs all host excellent events which our members enjoy attending.
