I wonder if it might not be a good idea to do a roll call of the numbers attending this meet-up. The reason is - if I recall correctly - the idea was raised that we hold a meeting there in order to spend lots of money behind the bar and thus help alleviate the cash crisis that the club was undergoing. If there is only going to be a couple of dozen turn up - or even less - then it may well cost more money for the club than it takes. I am also bearing in mind that there is supposidly a barrel of real ale to be put on the bar. Even if this is only a 'nine', it is unlikely to be supped so if the club do not have a home game the following day, or a similar event, it could end up being chucked away.

Surely if it wasn't going to be financially viable to the club they wouldn't have agreed to the meet being held there, if I were to hazard a guess it I would think they have a home game either the next day or very soon after the meet!

Err...I don't know how many people we told 'em would turn up, but judging by the numbers saying thay won't be there, its probably a lot less.

And I've just realised cricket season is all but over. I am really hoping to get there, will have to wait and see how things pan out. Went to the July one and really enjoyed it!

As the person that is gonna be serving you all on that night it would help me immensely if I had an idea of numbers, purely so I can figure out if I'm gonna be able to cope alone or if it'd be better for me to have someone helping out!

When the meeting was initially booked then the number of people put into the diary, by the chairman of the club who took the booking, was 50-ish people......and yes, we are having a pump fitted on Monday and have ordered 2 nine barrels of real ale for Saturday night as well, so just having a vague idea of numbers would help me out a lot.....therefore I am throwing myself on your mercy and hoping that maybe there could be a roll call of sorts!!

Thanks!!
