If a meetup is to grow and be successful and well attended each year, it seems like a bit of after-meetup evaluation would be in order. Why not ask the members who said that they wanted to attend and then did not if they would share their reasons before jumping in to the planning phase of the next meetup.
In my particular circumstances, I had a serious injury last October that is still causing me problems. I held out hope through March and into early April that I might be ble to attend, but it didn't work.
