I carried out a poll on three other forums to see how much interest there was in this event, so we could get an idea of numbers. I only mentioned that it was a picnic event with a walk at the end of September, and I said Location was TBA, but it could have camping depending on where we choose.
My poll was "Would you attend this event?" and the options were
1) Yes
2)No
3)Maybe
Here were my results:

They're not far away, but there was hardly any interest looking at the results.

They are far away, but it seemed like there was a lot of enthusiasm here, with only one person saying No.
Hopefully that will give all of us an idea on the interest for this event, over a wider area.
