My wife has just taken over leadership of a group of elderly people – most over 70 with very mixed computer skills - for a social ‘club’ which meets every week. At the same time, the management of the venue where the group meets has imposed a limit on the number of people that can attend at any one time (COVID, you know). The total size of the group is greater than the venue-imposed limit.
In order not to break the imposed limit, we need a method which allows people to add their name to a list of attendees each week. It must be easy to use and allow people to book on and book off if they can no longer attend. We seek this solution because my wife does not want to be inundated with emails and/or phone calls every week. There is no current system; the outgoing leader took the first ‘n’ people who signed up and then closed the list. These people are allowed to attend/not attend each week with no check on whether they'll be there. So each week, people who would like to attend cannot even when there are many fewer attendees than the max. allowed group size. These frustrated people languish on a ‘waiting list’ until someone resigns/dies.
We are trying to make the system more dynamic and thus, fairer.Is there any such software/system ‘out there?’ Anyone got any other ideas?
Thanks
