Probably liability issues. Think of it this way, would you invite
20-50 strangers to your place not knowing which of them might get
hurt and sue you? $200/use is not bad - 20 peeps X $10 ea. Do it as
a subscription. 1. People sign up and send in checks/cash/money orders
for a topic. 2. When dollar threshold is met, date is set and room
reserved. 3. Amounts collected over the threshold apply to the next
session.
