Thanks for caring, Karsten. But I'm afraid the text is correct: it's for
the Open Weekend when we have reached the venue's capacity.

I hope tomorrow we can setup a way to allow some kind of registration
for the days that are not full, or a waiting list for attendants for the
open weekend, or any other solution, but meanwhile, registrations are
close to prevent problems, and we had to state that situation in the
announcement.
