In a planning mtg, everyone discussed what is the theme they think is suitable for the coming discussion mtg. Beside that they decide together when is the good date for the next daimoku mtg, video on Sensei (it is held in district level here), next planning mtg and following month discussion mtg, and they also decide on the venue of these mtg. Since there is no kaikan here in Cardiff, we only use member's place for mtg. Before Wen Guang arrive to Cardiff, the district meeting will not held in the same place every month. The district have to discuss and confirm the meeting venue for the following month. Currently, most of the district mtg is now held in my place, but since Wen Guang and me is going back to Asia this month end, the district would have to find another place for mtg during our absence.
And we discussed about the agenda of the discussion mtg. Also, it was opened to all who would like to volunteer to be the moderator of the discussion mtg, who is going to lead gongyo etc...
Wonder why the members are also involved in the planning mtg? It is because the members are supposed to be part of district, therefore they are also responsibile for the growth of the district, and they should contribute in the planning of the discussion mtg, to be inspired and bring guests (new friends) to the discussion mtg. The rationale is : The planning is for everyone leaders and members of the district. The discussion mtg is for the guests. Inspiring? I think so. Although the district is pretty small, less than 20 mbrs, but I think if everyone has the sense of ownership to the growth of the district, it is truly inspiring, isn't it?
Our district disc mtg will be on 18 Dec. Will keep you posted abt the mtg later.
