It is a long time since I expected much at shows. There were not a vast
number at the Paris meeting, but it was one of the best shows last year.
It is quality not quantity.

When I ran the London one. I did nothing much before other than book the
hall, and advertise it (Quanta/QLT/ internet/direct mailing)
On the day I provided tea/coffee making and an honesty box.
Others provide biscuits/cakes/rolls/sandwiches etc whichis nice but not
essential. I always broke even on costs, even though a lot of people
did not use the honesty box (8-)#
A separate room for talks is best - does not need ot be large.
In London we used the stage.
We paid £100 I think - Quanta will probably pay for the hall.
