At the moment we are looking at a lot of the mechanics of QLis30. One of
the things that is causes us a problem is the possibility of a QLis30
dinner. We want to do this as we believe informal contacts as just as
important as the event programme.
When we sounded out opinion on the date, you gave us some helpful
suggestions and we would like your ideas about any dinner.
Our main problem is that it is impossible to estimate numbers attending
QLis30 at this stage. There has been an enthusiastic response to the web
page - 168 hits so far - but that does not translate into attendance. It
is more an indication of interest.
The first question would be whether people would prefer a dinner on the
Friday evening or as an after workshop event on the Saturday. The latter
would be slightly easier to organise in that we could get final numbers
(and a deposit!) on the day itself.
The other question is the cuisine. At the moment we are looking at 3
options:
1: A traditional British Carvery
2: Italian
3: Chinese
By large numbers the first would probably be the easiest, but we have
had a good recommendation for the Chinese which is near to the show
venue. However, I wonder whether UK QL-ers have had enough Chinese
cuisine stuffed down their throats in Manchester!,
Best Wishes,
Geoff
