wall, bells etc.

[LINDA STEVENSON]

It's not uncommon for someone to come up to you and ask if you would ring the bell between sessions because some people aren't following the timelines.  By not ringing it between sessions you are letting them know that this is not facilitation as usual and that they are responsible for managing their time together.  One more way of letting them know you're not in charge!
 
Have fun,
Linda

> material because the rack is not super sturdy. But I'm sure there are 
> other options I have not thought of.
> 
> 2) I got some nice temple bells that I have not used before. Those of 
> you who used them, how and when do you use them? Does anyone ever use 
> them to remind participants that it's time for the next session to 
> begin? Once at a very small meeting (and very short) people had 
> difficulty wrapping up the conversation and go to the next session. 
> Could it be that when there is only 45 minutes allocated for each 
> session that the flow from session to session become less organic.
> 
> FYI: we're expecting 60+ people.
> 
> Thanks so much for your help and suggestions.
