Re: Meeting Length

Team 237 meets Monday thru Friday starting at 4pm until 8pm at the high school our team is based out of, Watertown High. The only time we meet at the school on a weekend is usually the last weekend before the robot ships to finish up any loose ends. We try not to meet on weekends because we're required to pay for custodial coverage on weekends, but if we do we usually do all day, 8 or 9 in the morning until 5 or so.
If we know the school will be closed because of weather or a holiday we meet at one of our sponsors shops. We only ask the mechanical and electrical people to show up and whatever stuff we need or is being worked on we take the night before from the school.
We don't have a dedicated room at the school. We use the woodshop, metalshop, graphic arts, home ec, electronics room, and the cafeteria. The rooms aren't all next to each other but they are all in the same wing of the building so it isn't too bad. The main problem is since these rooms are used during the regular school day we have to drag everything out at the beginning of the meetings and then pack up again near the end. We also clean up any rooms and machinery we use.
