Major Operation Day Change - Mandatory Vote

Spoken to both Joe, and Blu who had a few issues with the change, but all seems to be moving forward and / or resolved.

Please talk to me if you have questions before voting.

Small or temporary issues can have a positive outcome.

I think its worth discussing how and why this came about.

Firstly, as the clan gets older and more committed to family and loved ones, it becomes harder to block out the night that most people want to go out and socialise, that being Saturday nights.

Secondly, there is good reason to believe that potential recruits will have exactly the same issue as we do.

Thirdly, it leaves more of a gap between Thursday training and our Main Operation, keeping the whole experience fresher.

Fourthly, there appears to be the potential for welcoming back past members if the date is changed to a more universally free evening.

So much for the day change itself. What about the time?

Our European members are at least one hour ahead of us. This means that a 7pm start GMT, means finishing at 11pm for them.

For anyone with work or school, this is a late ending, leaving no time to prepare or indeed get rest for the week ahead.

By starting at 5pm GMT, our European members will finish at 9pm, giving them a far more reasonable finish time.

It also means that our British members will finish at 8pm, leaving some of the evening free to placate their partners, children, wives, dogs, dolls etc.

A healthy life outside the clan is vital to keep us all happy and fresh.

I hope this explains our motives. Its not just a whimsical decision, but one borne out of a genuine concern over falling numbers, potential for growth and maintaining a healthy atmosphere both in and around the group.

Advisory vote ends at 7pm GMT this evening.

Thank you all for your encouraging response. And a big thank you to Oksman for reaching out to past members.

I'll be on our TS if anyone has any questions

Welcome to Fundays.

Effective immediately? Meaning starting this week?

From what i've gathered the 16th will be the first funday.
Not sure tho.

16th was planned for the “reunion” mission, but Oksman has run into difficulty with his mission making, so it will just be a “normal” mission, but yes.

Starting this Sunday people.

So training as normal, and mission day is now 9th February and not the 8th ?

Correct.
