hello doris, try this for the wall... http://www.globalchicago.net/ost and look for the link for canadian tables in the practice notes section. a wall in no time. mmpannwitz can maybe say something of german tables.
the buffet will let folks take smaller easier to manage plates of food, i imagine. i've had many groups eat without tables without any troubles. i'm sure that part will work out just fine. michael herman Doris Gottlieb wrote:
Hi, I ve been asked to do an Open Space at the closing meeting of the Women s International Network in the Netherlands. Yesterday I went to the room that they found and booked (not after I went with one of the sponsor s to about 10 different rooms all of which were either, too expensive, too small, or too far away (the only shame because we did find the perfect place for OST in Amsterdam, but the boad was against it, it s in a neighborhood with a bad reputation& Anyway, the room they eventually booked is okay regarding it s size. It has 2 pillar s but they are in such a configuration that I was thinking I could work around them. Yesterday when I went to see it I found out that we can t tape things on the walls or windows. So I m now trying to figure out a low cost way to create the News and Agenda wall, does anyone have any suggestions? Also, this meeting is going to take place during their final meeting for the season which is planned as a dinner. There is going to be a buffet open for the duration of the meeting that people can go to and get food. But the man from the organization keeps telling me that I should have tables so people can eat. He suggested several round tables be placed in the area where we will have the subgroup meetings. My personal feeling is that it s not such a good idea, but I also don t like the idea of people struggling to eat as they go through their subgroup meetings, balancing dishes and drinks on their laps. I m feeling very nervous about this, can anyone help me in making my decision as to what is the most wise thing to do?
