@Alison thanks for the offer to send an E-Mail, we will definitely get back to you on that, although as you say maybe it's not quite the right time yet. On the other hand, seeing whether there is any (if hazy) interest in an alternative event at all might give us an idea whether it's workable at all, and what kind venue we would be looking for - be it a 5-person table at the pub, or something larger...
