Moot Standing Group retreat

Pleased to say that the new Moot standing group has gone away to Ham Convent as planned, to start thinking about the practicalities of moot's development. So Phillipa, Carey, Andrew, Andy, Jonathan, Mike, Gareth and Ian have been doing a mixture of joining in with the convents rhythm of worship as well as discussing practical issues of developing moot.

To remind the community, now that we have moved from start up to sustaining a community, and now to developing things again, we have a new structure of people overseeing particular moot activities, with a standing group that serves to sort out the detail so that we continue to have a community hermeneutic rather that relying on Ian & Gareth to hold it all together. So it goes something like the diagram below:



Community Meeting - Community makes decisions
^
Moot activity organisers - planning & sustaining our programme
^
Moot Standing Group - planning the detail to meet the direction set by the community meeting & supporting the moot activity organisers to sustain our programme

It is hoped in this way, we avoid hierarchical approaches to organisation - more that we have a flat leadership where people are given room in the community to carry out certain roles. The Standing Group will be coming back to the Community Meeting with some thoughts following this retreat.
