IC/OOC: Portree team staff meeting.
Just after 4, Graham calls the meeting to order.

“So, First of all, I want to congratulate everyone on a very good first half of the season. We had rough spots, but we played well against our rivals and are on a good trajectory for the playoffs. We’ll have that and the Neep coming up, so the second half should also be exciting.

“There’s not really a lot to cover, but I didn’t want anyone to feel we had unresolved issues. We’ll discuss the agenda items and then we can open up the flor for last minute items after we hit the planned discussions.

Are you on time? Who do you talk to? Who did you arrive with? All this and more can go here...

Yes, Cav is on time. In fact, he's early.

Maggie arrives on time. Like "twenty seconds before the meeting" on time. She sits on the opposite side from any and all Urquharts and averts gazes from the same. She feels really bad. She's here for business. And she's dreading the "Circe" agenda item. Which is fun.

But hey, there's a Portree holiday sweater under her robes! Yeah! Let's all be distracted by that instead!!!

Alec likely comes with Graham, he's in more serious business mode and has a roll of parchment to take notes with (meetings need a scribe to summarize some things because nobody likes reading dictaquill transcripts).

Owen shows up early and sets up the room, putting out tea and a few biscuits of different varieties. He has a few dicta-quills and several sheets of parchment ready to go. He greets Cav (and any others who might be early) and gives Maggie a wave when she comes in- there's something sympathetic in his smile.

Ellie shows up just a few minutes late. She really isn't trying to make any sort of power play. She has, as suggested -- although perhaps as a joke, sent the team for a long flight around the island. Endurance and all that. She fully intends to be back out on the training grounds in an hour -- so she is keen to keep on schedule. She doesn't really like staff meetings with ownership, way too formal for her, but can pretend when the need arises.

Peggy arrived a few minutes early on her own (since Alec was coming with Da). She was dressed for Prophet work and had flooed in from London.

Gwen is never late, nor is she early. She arrives precisely when she means to.

She clicks in in professional heels with her ever-present notepad and self-writing quill, greets everyone, and settles in. Now the meeting can start. :)

Agenda Item: Pink Uniform Modifications
[info]instagraham
2017-12-21 01:32 am UTC (link)
You’ve all seen some muggleborn players adding pink flashes to their uniforms. What do you think? Should Portree respond, and if so how? Why? I want to hear from each of you.

"Is it possible that the pink may pull focus away from the game? Absolutely, and maybe it should. Does this mean we shouldn't support it? No. We shouldn't feel comfortable about this, because it's a reminder of the ways everything went wrong. And we should be reminded, and we should be mindful. Coming down against this sends the wrong message, so I say we let the players add some color if they want to, but make it an individual judgment call. Of course, it's up to the owners on if they want to release a team statement on the matter, but- at the very least- allowing it on the pitch will give our tacit approval."

"It's not my place to say," Maggie begins because she's the medic, and shrugs, but carries on because what the Graham asketh, the Graham get-eth. (Or however that saying goes.) "As far as I ken, only Muggleborn players can wear the pink, so it's off the table for ours no matter what. But on principle, aye, support it. Muggleborns need the support and there's no reason not to, or to disallow it." Cue dismissive hand gesture. She chooses to leave out the 'if we bar players from wearing pink we look like a bunch of douchebags because we will be' bit.

Ellie would have looked somewhat confused by this thing. Politics is so not her bag. Once most of the others have said their piece and knowing she is expected to speak she does.

"Shit, as long as they keep putting quaffles through hoops, or blocking them, hitting bludgers, and catching snitches they can fly naked for all I care." The words came before she had the sense to even try to censor herself, but even then, she probably still would have said the same thing.

"Portree should come out in support, if only to ensure the public that we are, in fact, supportive of Muggleborns. Banning the pink, or even refraining from comment, could be tacitly implying otherwise." Was all David had to say on the matter, especially considering he'd already told his father what his thoughts were.

Gwen, naturally, takes a more practical than ideological view of the situation. "We're drawing attention already as one of the only teams in the League without at least one player or staff member conspicuously wearing pink. Of course, the lack of that controversial statement inevitably reminds the public and the press that we don't have any Muggleborns on the roster, and to the circumstances surrounding our loss of the Camerons. It's not ideal." She very carefully does not shoot anyone in the room a dirty look at this, because she is a professional.

"I recommend that we put out a statement affirming our commitment to Muggleborn inclusion and to openness and dialogue around the important issues of our time. Our official position should be that we support the right of all witches and wizards to make political statements in whatever manner they see fit, and that if any of our team members wish to support their Muggleborn friends, relatives, and colleagues by signing on to this fashion trend we affirm and celebrate their right to do so, as long as it doesn't interfere with the performance of their duties."

OOC:
Peggy gets implicitly invited to the post meeting by Graham in the talk.
Alec doesn't get told to do anything, but gets the 'stick around' for the meeting when he looks at Graham.
David is half an island lap behind his teammates and is excused to go do whatever Ellie tells him to do.

Agenda Item: Circe
[info]instagraham
2017-12-21 04:03 am UTC (link)
Before I comment, The Pride has survived much more

In 1937, Circe wrote that I was added to the team because of my
Brother and that I was too inexperienced to play for Portree.

I responded.

It got worse. They were clearly in the wrong. I wish I hadn’t.

I understand they have said things again.

Do we have an issue with Circe? Do we need to do anything?
