Scheduled time tables sound good to me. Obviously there will be a problem with bridgford as earliest we can get the gates open is 9, also with the proximity of houses to the venue I wouldn't want to be firing up the PA / Generators to early.
With regards to pre-booking then obviously we have two systems already in place so people have no excuses not to pre-book, although do we need to put a rule in place that pre-booking for each event closes at a certain time? Also we need to make sure that pre-booking goes through you rather than through the clubs themselves.
ME-OR is there to be used how you see fit Jim, Thats why it was set-up in the first place
