Starting to wish I had gone looking for a larger hall

Last year, when I ran Norrskensfesten and the first Norrskensbard competition, we had about 70 people register, a few of whom didn't make it at the last minute, but there were at least 65 people on site. This year we already have 82 people registered and it is still four weeks to the the event (well, technically four weeks till the day the event ends, but close enough). I just played with the drawing program, and if I add some more tables to the ring and put a high table on the stage then we can seat 86 and still have the space in the middle for dancing and the bardic performances. It will work out, I am certain. But part of me wants to say "no more registrations" now, and part of me wants my other friends who haven't registered yet to do so...

Sadly, I really don't know of any sites which have a larger hall, and a decent kitchen. This is one of the biggest I have personally been to up here.

Edited to add: decided on an event cap of 95 and then put people on a waiting list. Said so on FB, and by the time I was ready to put the computer down and get ready for bed the number of people who had tried to register was 99.

sca, norrskensfesten
