Workshop on Bootstrap Methods

Venue Capacity: 30 people

The capacity of the venue is about 30 people but because of no-shows, we have a policy of first-come, first-served on the night in the event of the room filling up. Managing no-shows is a problem all Meetups have to deal with and this is the fairest method we can think of. While we have never been in a position to turn anyone away for capacity reasons, it is always a possibility, so please arrive early to avoid disappointment on the night. We have the upstairs room booked from 1900-2100 so if the room is in use till that time, we will gather in the bar below beforehand.
