[EdLUG] Christmas Meal ?

[Greg Lewin]

Is there actually a list of those going?  Without one there is a risk
of more people showing up than there are spaces.

Though the closure of the poll should have been announced, I did consult it to make sure everyone could make the 10th December.

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.
