Hi

So far, Nic and I are mostly following the suggestions of Talitha, who  
was involved with the organising last year.

Apparently an issue has been the time taken to sort people out into  
tables. Pre-selling tables at a discount encourages people to organise  
what group they want to be in before the night, rather than on the  
night.

Nic has argued in favour of not allowing individual ticket sales at  
all, instead only pre-selling full tables and half tables. This seems  
kind of restrictive to me though.

I suggest allowing the selling of individual tickets, but making it  
people's own responsibility to sort out whom they are sitting with. If  
someone buys an individual ticket, they will end up on whatever table  
number the ticket is labeled with.

All people have to do to end up with their friends is make sure they  
buy the tickets collectively.

I haven't organised any quiz nights, so I am just trying to do what  
seems sensible.
