+[Raw notes, apologies if attributions are mistaken]
+
+Rici:
+ Spoke with Pat Lucas, got notes and the circulated agenda etc.
+ Involvement of people of who are new(er) in the planning
+ We don't have to reinvent the wheel
+ "everything you wanted to ask"
+ "What do you hope to get from the day/weekend"
+ Parallel sessions?
+ Hybrid?  One organised day near a local meeting,
+          with an option to stay over and go to MfW the next day
+ June/July
+
+Henry:
+ not "everything we wanted to tell you"
+ "How did you come to Friends?"
+ Two approaches: Make an early decision and promote it
+                 Ask what people want and hope we can give it
+ With hybrid, we could do an After Word session for those who did stay
+ September
+
+Mariot:
+ Did an Enquirers' Weekend at Woodbrooke: Harvey Gilman and Ben Pink Dandelion
+ Confirming vs. exploring
+ "Meet 3 Quakers"
+ "where you are; who we are; where next"
+
+Things to decide:
+ Day or weekend
+   Firbush if residential?
+ Location: Victoria Hall in Dunblane?  7VT?
+ Date
+ Questionnaire
+ Age range
+ Childcare
+
+Stages:
+  1) Agree date and venue
+  2a) Session plan
+  2b) Questionaire? Age range? Childcare?
+  3) Announcement
+
+AGREED:
+ That we really like the hybrid idea
+
+ACTIONS:
+ Henry to circulate "A day with Friends"
+ Mariot to create a Dropbox folder
+ Henry to enter notes from today and barebones stages
+ All to start editing/adding material
+ All to read both Pat's notes and "A day with Friends"
+ All to make specific suggestions about dates and venues
+
+We meet again on 18 March, 1830, 11 Douglas Crescent
+  Aim is to agree a date and a venue (or, at least, a concrete list of
+      venues to try to book)

+[Candidate draft of letter to go to all LM Clerks]
+
+At the request of General Meeting, we are exploring options for an
+event for Enquirers, and would like your input in order to gauge
+interest and test some options.
+
+If you could reply to this email with your thoughts on the following
+questions, we'd be very grateful.  If you had the time and could ask a
+few potential attenders at such an event, that would be even better.
+
+Do you think there might be interest from some attenders at your
+Meeting in a one-day event for Enquirers?
+
+Would a Saturday towards the end of September be likely to suit,
+assuming a reasonably central venue (for example in Perth or
+Stirling)?
+
+Would including the opportunity to attend a local Meeting for Worship
+on the following day, with a further short gathering to reflect on
+this together, be an attractive addition?  This would require an
+overnight stay for most.
+
+Do you expect that either your Local or Area Meeting would be able to
+make bursary help available for those who need it?
+
+Any other thoughts or suggestions as to what might encourage
+attendance from your Meeting?
