If other items in the budget/fundraising don't go to plan, up to when 
could we cancel the dinner without losing the full price (or a high 
portion of it)?  And up to what point can we adjust it for a smaller 
number without losing money?

But, yes, in itself this adjustment sounds fine to me, merely changing 
figures between items to match up with the reality of what's available.  
I would only note that actual spending of funds on budget items should 
be done in the order agreed in March.
