Charlene, If there will be a limit on the number of registrants, then our publicity should more clearly mention this. Preregistration can be required for many reasons. For future announcements, I would say something like: preregistration is required.... due to capacity limits of the TN AQ auditorium. The reason: I had a scary thought that we will get an enormous turnout and some of the more advanced aquatic gardeners will also be a paperwork procrastinator like me. As long as potential attendees are forewarned, my conscience is clear. <grin>. --Neil, the optimist PS I posted Karen's notice on rec.aquaria.freshwater.plants ------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, e-mail majordomo@thekrib.com with "unsubscribe aga-mcm" in the body of the message.
