Is there anything else you would like to
add regarding future meeting
arrangements for the Oban Lorn & the
Isles Community Planning Group
5 I represent a remote island community so face to
face attendance is very unlikely
6 I realise that for such a large number of attendees,
meeting, face to Face may be difficult, but it in my
opinion it is ALWAYS preferable to online meetings.
Being retired I can afford the luxury of meeting at any
time of day.  Preference should be given to those who
are employed or in full time education.  If attendance is
to be encouraged from all members of society, this fact
has to be given consideration.
7 I would be happy with one f2f or Hybrid meeting
per year with the rest as virtual.  I think virtual
meetings get a better attendance rate.
Alternating evening, morning and afternoon suits me.
12 My staff work 9-5pm so it is helpful if meetings are
during those hours.
14 Sometimes work commitments mean Teams is the
only option
15 I think virtual meetings are good because they are
accessible to people all over the area. But having a
face to face option would be good too, even if this
is just once a year.
I have no preference on time, but it would be good if the
time was published on the meetings calendar online,
alongside the date. Sometimes I know the date but not
the time and that can be tricky.
16 I appreciate it is helpful to meet people face to
face, but the cost of all of us travelling quarterly to
meetings in Oban is quite high.   If I know well
enough in advance that a face to face meeting is
happening,  I could try and tie in with other things
to attend, but cost of accommodation in Oban is
not cheap.  If a Face to Face meeting is
happenning, please please please have it as a
Hybrid meeting so those of us on the Islands or
mainland remote can still attend.
If attending Face to face in summer months then
evening would be my preference as would only need
one night away from home, but not very likely to attend
in person. 
3 online and one hybrid per year is my
suggestion.  Happy to advise re best
practice for a hybrid meeting, to ensure
those on line can hear. 
18 Teams is more convenient for lengthy meetings like
this
Evening meetings are inconvenient for me If a partner is simply going to read the
presentation that they have submitted,
can they limit their presentation to
questions only? This wastes so much
time. If not, can a more strict time limit
be set per partner as some partners can
take up a lot of time leaving less time
towards the end of the meeting for
other agenda points?
21 Virtual meetings make it far easier to participate. Daytime meetings preferred personally, but appreciate
that meeting in evening may be easier for some
participants. Could there be a mix of day and evening
meetings to accommodate all?
Would like to vary the attendee so that
we can represent different aspects of
the work we do. E.g. Trustee, Manager,
Support Worker from particular service. 
Cannot send more than one
representative per meeting due to
capacity.
24 Mainly virtually, once or twice annual face to face
25 try and restrict length of meeting to a
max of 2hours
26 SFRS attend to deliver our CPG Paper. It would be
appreciated that we are always early on the agenda due
to officers remaining available for call outs.
