Number of Participants - once the place is found and a list of possible dates are gathered, specifically who can come will fall into place.  I think estimating 40 max is safe and actually pretty optimistic.What could really help us out at this moment:1). An ENWorld member who attends a local university finds out if space is available for such an event and possible dates we can hold such event.2). Prices for renting space at the Boy's Ranch (FYI - it's the name of Bedford's Activity / Community Center and it's located on Harwood and Forest Ridge).  3). Me calling Buddy at Lone Star Arlington to get info on their room (I'll try to get this done in the next couple of days).Make sure if you're going to do either items one or two, get an idea of the number of people the facility can accomidate and any costs involved.  Tell them its for a Saturday event, and find out what the availability will be from mid-June to mid-August.  We'll prolly need 4 to 5 round tables that seat up to six. This could accomodate about 30 people max.  Seeing this will likely be going from 10AM to 10PM, this looks to be a do-able number.How's this for my poor attempt at coralling cats?  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
