Full member brunch 10 October 2026

Dear @reef-full,

10 October from 11h - 15h a full member brunch is scheduled. We start by sharing a meal together, enjoying good food and each other’s company. After brunch, we take some time to connect as a group, share what’s going on, and talk about things that matter to our community.

Please indicate below whether you’ll be able to make it:

  • I will be there
  • I cannot make it this time
  • I’ll be there just for the brunch (11h-13h), not the meeting
  • I’ll be there for the meeting (13h-15h), not the brunch

Also, adding the following option to check temperature:

  • I love connecting as a group, and will prioritise the Reef Retreat and the weekend away. I will not be coming.

While you’re at it, please let us know whether there is something you’d already like to discuss during the meeting:

  • I have nothing particular that I want to discuss during the meeting
  • Something has been on my mind and I’d like to share it with the group during the meeting
  • I’m not sure yet whether there is something I particularly want to discuss
0 voters

Lastly, I’d like to know whether we can team up with @reef-communitylife for the organisation and @reef-facilitation for the facilitation?
And is somebody willing to host? (@Lee @joannes)?

Thanks!

I can host if that’s convenient. But maybe it’s a good moment to meet upstairs at @joannes now that this is still an option? (it might not be in the future due to accessibility issues)

We have been meaning to prepare an easy template to organise potlucks in an easy way. @mieke should be sharing it soon :slightly_smiling_face:
And I guess the other thing is babysitting, here is a little poll to see whether we need to organise something and if yes, what ressources we have:

  • I’ll be with my kids
  • My kids won’t be there
  • I would be happy to babysit during the meeting

Anything else?

If ada is coming, I’ll bring Kaatje!

We will be there

Dear everyone,

I’m going to recycle this dusty old poll from a FM meeting a while ago, because I thought it worked quite well. It is also (mostly) vegan and glutenfree.
It’s maybe more ‘lunch’ than ‘brunch’, so I did add the banana bread to properly respect the vibe.

@Joannes can I count on you for rice again? We’re expecting 10-12 people.

The idea is that everyone prepares/brings at least one ingredient. If you have time, bringing more is very welcome.

  • Roasted chickpeas
  • Grilled tofu
  • Roasted sweet potatoes
  • Roasted cauliflower
  • Roasted broccoli
  • Roasted zuccini
  • Feta
  • Avocado slices
  • Tahini sauce
  • Tatziki sauce
  • Banana bread

Rice: consider it done.

Hi all, I won’t be there but I am responding to this topic as a member of team community life. Based on the poll that Sarah launched, it looks like there will be two children (@MariaAM and @manuelpueyo) and that we have two people (@joannes and @Odile) who are willing to babysit (Thank you so much!).

=> Joannes and Odile, let us know if you need anything from us to help you organize the babysitting.

Thanks for the babysitting offer :slightly_smiling_face: but one of us is likely to be with Edgar anyway.

I think @Sterre also could be interested in baby sitting?
Also, thank you for launching the poll!

I’m quite sure Ada, Kaatje and Rémi will be quite independent during the meeting. Guillaume is also coming, so either one of us can be with them if needed.

FYI, based on the answers in the poll, I contacted the different people who might want to discuss something during the meeting part. I asked what they would like to speak about and if they need something specific from the facilitators.
@GaultierDWM and me will be cofacilitating.
See you Saturday!

You will be missed!
