MessageBob is right. In Saskatchewan, where necessary we have reserved =
50 rooms. Necessary meaning that the rooms would not be available if we =
did not book far in advance and there are no alternatives at his stay =
over spot.
But we negotiated the ability to finalize  our numbers 30 days in =
advance thus allowing us to recover the deposit should we not take all =
50 rooms.
Ps. I think we will use all 50 rooms.

  What the Regina sector is doing is making an original booking of 50 =
rooms (am I correct with the number Ian?), which we can pare back later =
once we know numbers.  I think, though, that we will need a commitment =
by the beginning of the new year, on the number of rooms we need to =
hold.  The 5 to 9 rooms seems light, unless we really drop the ball on =
promotion.  We might be optimistic here at 50, but say we get half that =
number which shouldn't be too hard even if we press only the locals - =
and we're pretty sparse on the ground up here - so I would hope that 5 =
to 10 times the number you indicated might be a good "target".  Keep in =
mind this higher target means some active promotion is involved.

  Have some of you other guys thought of some numbers for your sectors?

  This is indeed a good thing for us.  Unfortunately it only brings to =
the forefront once again, that we do not know how many participants are =
actually going to be in any given Sector.  It makes it rather hard to =
commit to anything as far as reserving anything.

  How shall we handle this?  Pick a "reasonable" number and go with it?  =
At this time we only have 2 people from AZ signed up and pulling from =
several surrounding states I've come up with 14 other possibilities from =
the participant's listing.  Do we go with committing to a group of say 5 =
or 9 rooms required?  Or do we go for all 14 or maybe 20 and hope that =
last minute folks, which haven't even signed up, will show up and fill =
the rooms?  I need some discussion and feedback in short order so we can =
set a direction on this.  I do not want all of Dick's work to go for =
naught.

  As an aside?  Hazel, there is only one person signed up from San Diego =
at this time.  I know it's a bad time right now, but please keep this in =
the back of your mind that we need folks wishing to partake in the Tour =
to register.  This information is only used internally to help all of us =
make appropriate plans for the event.

  Thanks all, please get busy with your thoughts on the AZ overnight =
stay commitment for room reservation expectations.  Mind you, we at =
JONAT are NOT actually making the reservations.  But we do need to give =
Julie and Waylund some idea I'm sure.
