judging my our pollresults it is saying that most of you find our meetings VERY BORING.
You will be pleased to know that this is changing!
We are going to be using a structure to our meetings which will allow you to take moe part in our meetings and it to not take to long.

well done to piglet for researching and positive attitude. people who are engaged and interested in what we do in meetings will probably vote very fun in our HANDS poll.
