[EdLUG] Christmas Meal ?

Sat Dec 7 20:39:56 UTC 2019

Hi Greg

Thank you for your e-mail and I appreciate your efforts with the poll you created. Anonymous was a mistake on my part as I completed the form on my phone and submitted it again by accident. Though the closure of the poll should have been announced, I did consult it to make sure everyone could make the 10th December.

I initially announced the plans for a potential Christmas gathering via the mailing list on 4th November and mentioned it again at the November meetup. Unfortunately, there was initially little feedback from the group until mid-November. There was a four week window for everyone to provide feedback, which was always welcome. With Christmas fast approaching a date and venue had to be set, thus I made the decision whilst attempting to be fully transparent.

I have initially booked 10 seats for the Tanjore to make sure there are spare slots for those who did not initially respond. I hope that this helps to clarify the situation and I would be happy to discuss further if needed.

Best Wishes

Shehraz

I admit my eye wasn't on the ball, but I am a bit dismayed to see a
decision was made without any announcement of closing the poll, and
the number of entries is much smaller than the number of people who
typically turn up to a xmas meal.

The announced closure of a poll has a way of making people reach a decision.

The 10th is not the only date with 5 votes as at 2019-12-07 Sat 17:47
and that could easily have changed by its closure.

Who is "anonymous"?

>>
>> The venue wasn't settled yet. Let's have another try to work out what people prefer. Please rank your preferences:
>>
>> A. Mosque kitchen (https://www.mosquekitchen.com/ )
>> B. Tanjore (http://tanjore.co.uk/ )
>> C. the Chinese restaurant people went to last year (I wasn't there, so someone please identify it!)

>> Please reply fairly quickly, because we should probably book a table soon.
