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.</div>

<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">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.</span></div>

<div class="PlainText">I admit my eye wasn't on the ball, but I am a bit dismayed to see a<br>
decision was made without any announcement of closing the poll, and<br>
the number of entries is much smaller than the number of people who<br>
typically turn up to a xmas meal.<br>
<br>
The announced closure of a poll has a way of making people reach a decision.<br>
<br>
The 10th is not the only date with 5 votes as at 2019-12-07 Sat 17:47<br>
and that could easily have changed by its closure.<br>
<br>
Who is "anonymous"?<br>
