The thing that Stood out was the fact is was 5 people.

If everyone shows it is going to be a little tight now the average monitor size seems about 24"

back to issue at hand, I have nothing bad to say about those guys they were all really good attendees last time they came - and i am simply concerned about the logistics, that is the only issue, DO WE HAVE SPACE? that is the only thing i want opinions on.

I'm not Sheep.

We've already had a discussion about the WoW'ers and the internet connection.

I was just using them - as indeed the LFS'ers - to illustrate the point that we have people playing a diverser range of games than previously:)

ahh i miss read,

so logistically can we do it???

We can accommodate 6 per side on the long tables. With 4 per side on the server table, that gives us 44 places.

We may be able to push the sever table to 5 per side but it'd be tight.
With that addition, 46 is the absolute max.

Working on the premise that we always get a couple of dropouts then I would work to 46. That way if we lose a couple en route we're back to our 44 (6x6 and 2x4). And, if no one drops, then we can just about squeeze everyone in (6x6, 2x5). Any more than that and I think we'll be struggling.

/edit. Oldie is only coming for Friday and Friday night so his spot can be used be someone else - even if we have to do a bit of hotdesking on the Friday for a bit.
/edit2. We also have a few social members coming to whom we haven't allocated seating so whatever we do it will be rammed!

Server table can be pushed to 6 per side too, so we can get 46 in.

We can also revert to plan B and use smaller tables pushing to 8 per side and a narrower walkway iirc from our earlier reccies of the room. If we only do that for a couple of tables we'll cover the attendee list even if nobody drops out. 8 is a squeeze though and I'd prefer to avoid it if we can.
