	* ~~Make more meetings~~ for ~~coaches discussing~~ the ~~issues~~ they ~~have~~ in ~~teaching or tricks~~		* A large clock for teaching area to remind teachers of the time <span style='color:orange'> A new clock has been rezzed above the screen in the main teaching area. This has been set to share with group so teachers can move it if they wish.</span>
	* Meetings for coaches who want to be part of the weekend of learning to help them with their ideas		* Set up a reservation form for the teaching areas <span style='color:orange'>The [[Mainland_Mentor_Coaches_Class_Schedule]] page can act as this. If you mouse over the images of the various teaching areas at the top you'll see they're called area 1, area 2 and area 3, please specify the area in your class listing there and make sure you're not in the same area at the same time as another class :) </span>
	* A large clock for teaching area to ~~remind teachers of~~ the ~~time~~		* Meetings for coaches who want to be part of the weekend of learning to help them with their ideas <span style='color:orange'>The next meeting is Wednesday Aug 6 at 2pm. Please IM Simon Kline if this does not suit and we'll add more meetings prior to the event.</span>
	* ~~Set up a reservation form~~ for the teaching ~~areas~~		* Make more meetings for coaches discussing the issues they have in teaching or tricks. <span style='color:orange'>as above</span>
