The group leader will have given the names of all the group to us, and we will know who will be going together, and how many in each room. Information can be sent to just the leader, or multi sets of information to the leader, depending on numbers and criteria. In any event the first person to arrive must come to check in at the farm house, and then we can discuss the estimated times of arrival for the rest of the group.
