I am still trying to touch base with Will because when
Kevin came out of the blue tell us that it was going to
be first come first serve it was like we were at two
different meetings with Will. The room can hold 30-35
with no problem.  Twenty at the boardroom table and more
at other tables we need to get them to provide.  With
some helpers/instructors/socializers, we have an
installfest no problem mates. I  
really fail to see any real problem except communication
or lack there of... I'll try my best to fix it....
