Hi Mary,
The way I understand it, is that the full calendar is for you to reserve the diary dates.
When the venue is confirmed, then if that is on a separate notice like the EL and the Gauteng ones – with venues, then they do have an RSVP address.
I’ll edit the main notice to explain that. -

Hi Louis, unfortunately no I don’t know to whom the invites have been sent at this stage.
But I received with the request to forward to contacts. So I think if there is anyone that you think might not have received, then definitely forward to them. -
