England Run Library
mavwolf99
I know it has been about of year since I have participated in the group, but I have been reading all of your emails. Today, I had a meeting at the new England Run Library....what a new, cool facility!!!! My group, the Stafford Technology teachers, were trying to access the internet. The head librarian was doing a presentation for us. She told us that the free public wireless is not active at this time. She was kind enough to give us the code so we could get on as staff. It was like a dial-up connection. So if you are going to do any internet activity, I suggest that you wait til it(public wireless) has been installed. The meeting rooms are very nice and have the movable walls depending on the size of room that you need. The room I was in had two 4 port ethernet boxes on either side of the whiteboard and has a big I think about a 10'x10' screen for the ceiling mounted projector (which has not come in yet and been installed). The room had 6 six foot rectangular tables with 6 chairs and one round table. It had a couple of electrical outlets. So I thought I would let you guys know what the facility is like. I think it would be a great place for the group meetings. Go and check it out. I hope to get to one of your meetings in November when my field hockey season is over and I have finished coaching.
take care all!

Hi, Marie. The England Run Library does indeed have some attractive
features. The WiFi situation might not be that much of an issue if we
could use the wired Ethernet jacks in the rooms. Some in the group have
Ethernet switches that could provide Internet access to everyone in the
room (if the Library doesn't have their ports locked down).
The England Run Library would be more convenient for me on weeknights,
and a wash for Saturdays. Who knows, if we started meeting there
regularly, we might draw additional members from the surrounding area.
BTW, for those who know me, I've trimmed my beard--oh my! Among the
reasons for doing so is my wife, who says it made me look too old
way beyond my tender years; and naturally what she thinks matters. I
wanted to let you, and everyone else, know so it wouldn't be a surprise
to you next time you see me.
Mark
