Guild Table Set Up
We have a quilting guild with 33 members. Usually around 18-25 members each month that bring their machines to sew since we are a teaching guild. We are having a bit of a problem with how the tables are set up. We have several rectangle tables and a few round ones. Right now the room is set up with the tables against the walls so the middle of the room is empty. Several members do not like it this way and I was told that it was changed to keep the electrical cords from being tripped over etc. People say we are so far away from each other that there isn't the interaction we used to have, some have complained that it seems cliquish because members sit in the same spot each month. I know there will always be those that complain, but I was wondering if there could be any suggestions to this dilemma. We do have rubber to put over the cords to try to prevent tripping. It does seem that we are not as cohesive as a group with the current set up.
