I'm having quite a hard time seeing what the problem is here, but maybe I'm missing something... Based on Harald's analysis the projected annual shortfall is in the region of $350,000 per annum. Assuming ~5,000 attendees per annum, that equates to ~$70 per year per attendee. This equates to an increase in fees of ~$25 per meeting, i.e. ~5.5%. Are there really any regular attendees for whom this increase would constitute a serious problem? Mat.
