Hi Velimir,

Sorry, I'd not seen this mail when I wrote the previous reply -- no need

That sounds better.

OK, that's manageable, since we can react to mistakes in our estimates
by adjusting figures we give for the next day.

Did you find out what happens if extra people just want to walk in and
pay?  (or if we guess that 15% of people will not turn up, and we're
wrong because an interesting speaker gets followed from a talk straight
to lunch, and we get 100% attendance as a result -- which will be more
people than we've told the hotel for that day)

Cheers, Phil.
