Sorry to say that once again we had an unusually high number of no-shows at the Community Chat this week. This included people who had been in the high number of no-shows 2 weeks earlier. Yes, we know who you are!
When you register you receive a confirmation and later 2 reminders. Each of these emails has a click to cancel option. By not using that the room appears as if it will be full and other people miss their opportunity to attend.
Those who repeatedly do thjs may find that their registrations will go to the waiting list and they will not be admitted until the last minute – if there are spare seats.
We insist on registration because we need to know if extra chairs are needed of if we need to have 2 sessions. Also the speaker often wants to have a list of those attending in order to follow up with more information.
If you do not register you may be asked to wait until a few minutes before starting time, and you may or may not have a seat.
You may also notice a couple of changes to the registration form. You now have to retype your email address in order to ensure you have not made a mistake.
This does not stop the people who like to put in false email addresses for some reason – however if you do that you will not receive any of the confirmation or reminder emails.
Also you can no longer enter more than 3 people, you would have to do that with more than one entry. We are doing this because we see that in the majority of cases where you enter 4 or more they do not attend.
Please respect your community and the continuing efforts to make these informative chats happen.
Thank you
