>BTW, what is a typical ratio of RSVPs / attendees these days?

Depends when the cut off deadline is.  At the last meeting we had about 25 RSVPs the day before the meeting.  If you include RSVPs that came in all the way up until after the meeting had actually started, it got closer to 45 RSVPs.  We had 55 people attend, with 52 eating.  I typically leave for BALUG at 5pm and the RSVPs at by that time are typically +/- 10%... Though usually have to give the Four Seas a forcast Monday morning.
