If the stalls can't be there until 10 Mr pizza can't stay until Ten, nor anyone. I'm sure 6 has already been agreed. If not and thats the only possible time then no further deliberation is needed i'm sure.<div>

I don't think many of the stalls except catering would want to be open<br>
late. Nina said she would stay late. I guess we need to check with all the<br>
food places...<br>
<br>
It might be good for the event if there was food later too?<br>
<br>
Would it be possible to do a food tent without using the stalls for it (if<br>
there's a spare big tent from the uni)?<br>
<br>
Would we be able to get hold of enough sturdy tables for that?<br>
