Who: Pride Players & Staff
What: A meeting
When: Saturday mid-morning
Where: Pride offices
Warnings: IC/OOC | probably medium for potential swearing

Cav sent notices to all of the Pride players and staff that they should report to the Pride offices on Saturday at 10:30 in the morning for a brief team meeting before the season and practices start up again. Once everyone's assembled, he says he'll keep this as brief as possible and then launches into a short speech that explains the following things:

1. Coach MacFusty has aggravated an old Quidditch injury and is taking a short leave of absence to get it taken care of. While she's gone, both Lorna as the captain and Alasdair as a vice-captain will be leading practices. Cav will be attending each one as well in case anything's needed.

2. Luag MacFusty has chosen to also take a leave of absence for the rest of the season from his beater position due to some family matters and Cav is currently working out logistics regarding that open position.

3. A reminder that players and staff should not be discussing staffing changes, leaves of absences, player changes, etc. with the press and to point any press in the direction of Gwen as needed. He also asks that if anyone is approached by the press to please notify Gwen that it happened.

4. Finally, he reminds everyone that his office door is always open in the event that any player or staffmember have a concern regarding anything, from team relationships, personal training and growth, etc.

He will end by turning it over to any other admin (Owen, Gwen, Graham) who wishes to speak and also to ask if anyone has any questions.

	Meaghan was, like, 10 minutes late, which is definitely later than usual for her. She had no particularly good excuse, she just didn't think the meeting would be about anything important. She arrived, saw everyone assembled, looked at her watch, went, "Huh," and shrugged and took her seat. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lorna was there a few minutes early since she knew this meeting was important, and wanted to get things cleared up. She'll want to talk to Alasdair and be available for questions from the team. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No stranger to Saturday morning shifts, Maggie and her godforsaken crutches arrived on time. At least this time she's pretty sure she knows what the meeting's about, so Owen gets a little two-fingered salute on her way in. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Owen had been in the office since 8 that morning, so he definitely wasn't late. He would have been available for what few questions any earlier arrivals may have had that weren't meeting related. The man looked tired. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Gwen was exactly on time, as she always is. She is in her power suit and her power lipstick and her power shoes. Basically just lots of power and poker face going on. She sits next to Owen -- without her notepad and quill for once, just focusing on the faces around her. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Being one of the few adulting adults around, Alasdair arrived about ten minutes early, carrying a mug of tea (seriously, who knows where he manages to brandish these from) and goes to sit himself in the meeting. He’s seated near Lorna, and is looking calm as usual. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	David knew all of this was coming, as he'd gotten a play-by-play from his siblings. His face is blank, but he has to hold back an eye roll at some point at Cav because he's very unimpressed with his management style at this point. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Maddie's only reaction during this speech is a raise of the eyebrows. Well, okay, multiple raises of eyebrows, and each is higher than the last. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Re: During Cav's Speech gwensational 2018-01-08 12:35 am UTC (link)
	Gwen listens calmly while Cav talks, and is for once not taking notes (except mental ones). She's keeping an eye on the more volatile players for any reactions, and paying close attention to just how much Cav is saying here. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Re: During Cav's Speech mr_dragon 2018-01-10 01:03 am UTC (link)
	Owen says nothing while Cav is talking, but makes a few mental notes of various people's reactions. He's not terribly surprised by the ones who are vocal about it; it's the ones whose reception of the news he knows will be more subtle that he really keeps an eye on. His own face is a careful mask of neutrality. (Reply to this) (Parent)

“This has been a tough season and we’ve had a lot of churn. I have faith in you, Coach MacFusty, and Cav to rise above and bring your absolute best to the rest of the season, the Neep, and the playoffs. I’m available if anyone has additional questions or wants to talk. I expect to spend more time at the office in the new year, so expect to see more of me than you have so far this season.”
