Who's organised the AGM weekend for the past decade or so? If QUANTA have failed to organise the right TYPE of event, then that's a different issue. It hasn't been for the want of asking for someone else (or some other sub-group) to put on a suitable event that QUANTA can use to hold their AGM at. I seem to recall that it was you who condemned one of the very few other offers of help as "unsuitable venue" - a point that the QUANTA Committee had to agree with after receiving your report. Another occasion of "You die if you do and you die if you don't" I think!! Can YOU get information from the QUANTA Membership regarding just what they do want? Regards to all, John Gilpin.

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 ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm

Hi Wolfgang, Over the past few years the attendance at the QUANTA events (2-day workshop, Evening dinner, and Annual General Meeting - held in Manchester) the average attendance -including Committee Members, has been about 17.

[Ql-Users] QL Today + DVD - even more re-prints (but that's the last chance)!
Just a quick info: I got more inquiries over the weekend for more re-prints. I am very glad to see there is so much interest in the QL, in QL Today and QPC etc. ... I guess we all can take this as a kind of compliment. I don't want to turn anybody down, but this time it will be the final re-print ... definitely. So please spread the word wherever you can: if there's interest in QL Today Volume 17 (all 4 issues) together with the Bonus DVD including FREE FULL QPC2 V4, then it is time to order NOW! As all the previous re-prints are gone, I will do a (really) final print-run. I have enabled orders for the next week: http://smsq.j-m-s.com/ I will collect orders, have the issues printed next week and ship everything the following week.

Quanta workshops: probably about 20 people. Based on committee members, local NEMQLUG group members and a small number who travelled from further afield. Hence why Rich is making the effort to try to organise something so different for next year, to try to improve attendance. Hopefully, if he can get people talking about it now, he can succeed in making it a much better attended event than a Quanta workshop.
