Officer Changes, Meeting Updates & The Pink Form

For the Website and WTF

Meeting Secretaries or GSRs have an obligation to keep DCIG and GSO up to date with any changes to their meeting times, venue , access, chits and zoom details, where this latter is applicable and don’t forget contact names and phone numbers.  Thankfully,  this generally happens but occasional communication breaks down and this is captured when someone rolls up to a meeting that has changed its time or venue or login or has no wheelchair access etc.  The consequence  for the visitor is plain for all to see – no meeting that day. So please, please keep those meeting updates coming: ecomm.devonc@aamail.org

For the National Website – The Pink Form

Now when you supply the updates to DCIG please please use the National Website Pink Form which will ensure that your meeting details are correct on alcoholics-anonymous.org.uk. The link gets you to the online form and  it takes 10 minutes to enter the update.  You will need all the group information from the Members (Confidential) WTF. Plus names and phones for Secretary, Treasure and GSR plus a postal address for mail.  Only the groups have all of this and it is their responsibility to provide it via the Pink Form.

For Intergroup Office changes and Registration please us the Officer Registration Form available on this link . Please forward the form as directed.

Running a Hybrid Meeting

First, let us define a Hybrid meeting.  This a traditional AA meeting in a room with members present and a secretary running the meeting – all very familiar.   Now, if the meeting room has a strong WiFi connected to a good Internet Connection[1] then on the secretaries’ desk we can have two laptops or one laptop and one tablet both with good cameras and microphones [2]and an external large monitor or video projector for laptop 2 so that room can see and hear the Zoom. Via the first camera and microphone the Zoom can see and hear the room. And so we have one (hybrid) meeting.

You can download a fuller note on Organising and Running a Hybrid Meeting by clicking on the link. This note was first published Sept 2020 and feed back to the eclo email would be helpful.

[1] The internet connection should be at least 8mbps down and 2mbps up

[2] It may be necessary to add a good quality external mic and room camera to the second laptop and if the
room is large a good external monitor or projector as well.
