Nope, lol

Either is good for us. Edinburgh would mean we need to stay at a hotel.

That would be terrible news

As far as i am concerned either are optional so far but obviously will be better when i know the date to ensure i am indeed free... as for venue, either city is similar in distance from me and the ever so gorgeous Quirky one so.... either will do and will certainly be there.....

Ok both options seem popular hmmmmmm

Glasgow date is bang in holiday season so we might not get the same number..due to summer holidays.

Edinburgh is slghtly more expensive and more people will have to travel.

Prefer the dates to be after last Friday of the month as payday then, so Edinburgh date is better, but Glasgow is closer....

Problem with the Glasgow date is that its in the school holidays… and parents may of used up theie babysitting tokens during the week and struggle to get sitters for weekends?

Thats what I think anyway.

The date in Edinburgh, as said, is at the end of the month and right after pay day for many.

"glasgow tis may b a stupid question but why cant both b done "

Cos we would need 140 people + to cover costs, have 2 socials in a short time and less people will go.

As the venues we are looking at charge quite a lot for room hire etc then we do need a good turn out.

From 1st April 2012 licensing requirements for Public Entertainment events in Edinburgh changed. Previously there was no need to have a license for Public Entertainment events if the event was free but that changed as a result of an amendment to legislation.

A licence is required where you intend to have entertainment, such as a dance, concert, variety show or other entertainment where some payment for admission is to be paid.

There also looking to change the rules on free admission events as well. I know, i organise events in and around edinburgh for a living.

You could just risk it, but if the council did find out there would be hefty fines to pay
