Hi,
Then let's be serious. What is the minimum number you would want at a
continental show to ensure its viability?
Actually, none. I just want to get a feel for the number that *might*
come. Suppose someone were to organize something. Would it make sense
to organise a location that can hold 20 people? 30? 100? etc....
I'm quite aware that any number anyone can give is highly speculative,
but at least I'd get a feel of what one might expect.
Personally I would see nothing wrong with an attendance as low as 12.
With the type of people who would be likely to attend a continental show
you are likely to get a good cross fertilisation of ideas that will,
either directly or indirectly, benefit the entire QL community.
Ah yes, quality not quantity...:-)
Thanks for your input!
I am suprised that so far no one has referred to the numbers attending
the 25 year Lucerne show. I believe about 20 people attended.
I am not sure that the Quanta attendance figures in their present form
are helpful, so a little amplification. As far as I can tell of the
people who have recently attended a Quanta show only four have ever been
to a continental event. There is a complication that attendees at
Quanta shows represent only about one twentieth of the UK QL community
and a further complication that there have been no UK shows in the south
for over 10 years. Thus the number of potential UK attendees is probably
higher than 4, but I suspect you could still count the total on your
fingers,
Best Wishes,
Geoff
