Hi team,
Just wanted to say how much I value reading the discussions in these threads - sorry I'm not yet contributing much to them yet. I'll make more of a conscious effort to reply and post going forwards. We are early-ish with a new consortium - I've taken the lead in converting the Adelaide Symphony licence here in Australia into a Consortium with 3 new partners.
I'd love to join the catch up meetings, but the time difference is a bit! The next meeting is a 1.30am start for me... I know we have people all over the world and it's literally impossible to make it work for everyone, but could we perhaps look to a later afternoon US timeslot every now and then which would enable me to join early in the morning here? I'm up for an early start (6am is easy-peasy and 5am is fine on occasion). For example at the moment;
3.30pm EDT (US East Coast)
=
12.30pm PDT (US West Coast)
8.30pm BST (UK, London)
7.30am NZST (Auckland, New Zealand)
5am ACST (Adelaide, Australia - I'm up for it!)
Although that doesn't cover my good friend Andrew Chew in Perth, Australia, where it will be 3.30am!
So tough to get right - but I'd love to join you all on occasion so please let me know if the group would be happy to work something like the above. Perhaps everyone who would like to attend could list their location and timezone in the replies?
Cheers, Tom.
Hi Tom!
I'm actually the Asia Pacific Consortium Leadership group rep - I've just had difficulty finding the time to get cracking on setting up a time for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere to connect and get cracking.
Festival life means that 50% of the year it's really tricky for me to coordinate and find extra time in the week - but I promise that I haven't abandoned my ambitions and am always here if you'd like a chat!
