We are a scheme of 245 lots and most times have access to a ‘function’ room, at no cost, which is in another part of our estate.
However, several times the room has not been available and we have held general meetings (60-70 attendees) in our gardens, or in the visitor carpark (areas roped off). We own our own portable tables and chairs.
Attendees often bring food and drink to share.
There is no way, our scheme would book a restaurant or pay for the hire of a room so we have had to be inventive. The carpark looked very nice one time when it was close to xmas.
Committee meetings are usually held in the gardens or if raining we squeeze into building management office where the first four arrivals get a seat and the rest stand.
Committee is also getting better at skype conferencing.
