What's your forecast?

Every year the question on every dub's lips is: "How many came to the Memorial this year?"

Well, what do you think will happen this year?

Will there be a 'flattening out' of the increases? Is it possible that the trend will become one of decline?

Publisher figures have been declining for the past few years but still the Memorial attendance keeps 'up'. Will this change?

What do you think?

Cheers,
Ozzie

2000 14,872,086

It will be interesting to see how many show up since u mentioned it.
I'm thinking about how people will react in the US since the 9 11
thing. Not as much as the first couple of months right after the tragity, BUT there are still many flags flying. Some people are still taking there old torn and tatterd flags off there antennas to there
local fire dept. for proper disposal and replacing them with fresh flags.
There is a lot of patriatizim in the air still and it may have an influence on how many will wan to attend there local Kingdom Hall.

That would affect the attendance in the USA to be sure, but the rest of the world?

OK then, I'll start it off... my forecast is 15.6M

What do you reckon?

Do you think the number of partakers will remain stalled? i.e. about the same as last year?

Cheers,
