You know the nature of these sorta gatherings and how we always have last minute additions to any gatherings. Why bitch about it when we can deal with it ? Is it that hard to call that woman at the Cafe and inform her of the additional heads ? If she wants more deposit, we'll pay first on behalf of the members and collect them later. Bottom line is, I don't want anyone to be left out just cos we cannot get the venue and seats sorted out. And please, I've been there a few times during these few weeks and the crowd there is only so-so! Don't fall into her sales pitch so easily. Bottom line is - if she can't accomodate us .... someone else somewhere wud!!! And ... considering that we only posted this thing up on a weekend, how do you expect everyone to read and respond to the meet-up notice ? Everyone and anyone is welcome to join us as you said - as the senior members, it's our responsibility to ensure that we get them all settled in and comfy there later. What about the non forum members that were also wanted to join us when we discussed this on FRI ? Did we take them into account when we booked the numbers ? Anyway, I'll be there till dinner before I head off for the birthday bash - it's my assistant's so I'll have to show up later. Regards,VaN.</blockquote>
