I also saw it come up on the London group and thought it was an interesting
idea. I was going to wait and see if it worked out for them first though.
Given the lack of response on the both groups (and I know that at least 2
people didn't even realise there was a Hackoween social on Saturday) I
think you'll struggle to get this message out to a large percentage of the
hackspace membership so you're just going to end up with half a dozen
people doing large chunks of the work anyway.
