Gerald
We have had all the discussions before on the difference.
What we wanted and Dave agreed is to be able to set up/display a Meet the same as a rally.
You add your name using a button on the page (see a rally page) you receive an email, once received you book and then confirm the email.

Hi Gerald, I don't see the problem with including a list of attendees.
i may not know the proposer,BUT if I could see who else were attending & say there were people I know that may sway me to going. I'm sure that I am not alone with this veiw.
Are you talking for Dave or is this your understanding ?.
Lets take an example : I booked York show because I new the marshalls & a few other people,I could see who was booked.Ok it was a rally but I don't understand why the same cannot be applied to meets,it used to be.
I,m sure that someone would be prepared to collate the details(without a fancy title).

The general Idea was to reinstate the meets function back to how it was, that means exactly how it was ,it is such a simple operation, I can not understand the recluctance to do it, there are very many members here who do not like the large formal rally, and its the small informal meets that they want, and as paying members should be able to get it, if not I know were they can for free!!!

Fran,

Welcome to MHF!

hmm, attendees - i feel that this is a tricky one - personally for a meet i would like to be able to register my interest - but not need to confirm - if we are in the area we may drop in for a few days or we may not, as we are not setting guest limits for meets there could potentially be 20,000 attendees...

obviously the site must follow the masses - but what do people think to an unconfirmed list as opposed to a confirmed list? then you can at least get a feel for who will be turning up (not that this will sway me one way or another)

Could I just put my two penorth in please.

When we originally started doing meets as opposed to rallys which was about 4 years ago the person who suggested the meet kept a list of who was going to attend, the said list was compiled under the heading of the meet i.e.

Venue Tackeroo

Town Cannock Chase

Attendees

LadyJ
M&D
Richard&Mary
Sealady
etc etc

This list was added to by the proposer as folks showed an interest.

So why can it not be done like this now it worked before Laughing

so it can work now and as its is just a meet nobody has to confirm they are going but if they are not they could let the proposer know just so they are not looking out for them only manners and then the proposer can cross them of the list.
