When Do Meetings Start for Your Team?

We don't have a start date - our team meets every Wednesday throughout the year, including summer. The only Wendesdays we don't meet are the two over Christmas, the one over Thanksgiving, and the first Wednesday after our last competition of the year (usually).

Ours started in the summer of 2008 when we implemented a year round program.
With VEX and FIRST, there really is no "start" and "end" date.

The school year here start on the 27th of this month, that week the veteran team meets without the mentors present, then either the second or third week will have our meeting with the veteran team, mentors and new members and discuss what the team plans to do to prepare the new kids for the chaotic and fun 2013 FRC season,

Team 1208 has started this week, our second week of school.

The core group of members who have a real passion for robotics meet year round. The business-centric members only meet a couple times over the summer to review and revise the business plan, bylaws, and update other items. The team-at-large attends multiple demos over the off-season months.

The actual "go complete" team meetings start at our Christmas party where we elect our team leaders for the year.

As soon as possible, after school starts. We have a veteran-member only meeting first to bring them up to speed, and then an open meeting the next week.

It depends on how you define "meeting".

But 1405 has been meeting all summer long (I jumped in sometime during mid/late July). But from what I understand, the meetings have been going on since a few weeks after Finger Lakes.
