Thread Name: 2005 Getaway Program Information
Subject: RE: 2005 Getaway Program Information
On the other thread, people have advised us against having "anything" opposite the Helen Schneyer workshop. I tend to feel the same way, but I know there will be people coming to the Getaway who never knew Helen. Any suggestions for what we could put opposite "Remembering Helen Schneyer"? I can see we need changes there.

Edmund has given us some good suggestions for the schedule grid. The biggest problem with programs like this is conflicts that leave people feeling disappointed at having to miss a favorite workshop. Every year we work overtime trying to get rid of the worst conflicts. In general there are groups of people who will gravitate to different kinds of music and we try to have something for each of those groups in hopes they will all find something they like, but not too many things they like, at each time slot.

Bill mentioned feeling that Sunday afternoon is full of conflicts for him. How many others have the same problem?

We really welcome comments, folks -- we need more feedback before we consider any changes to the schedule.
