Who brings what: the shared list for a group weekend
One list, one line per thing, one name against each line. Share it, let people claim what they are bringing, and the duplicates stop happening. The quantities are set so the person claiming a line knows how much is expected.

Questions people ask
- How do you stop four people bringing the same thing?
- A shared list where claiming is visible. The group chat cannot do it, because the message saying you will bring the cheese scrolls away and the next person never sees it.
- What should the organiser buy, and what should people bring?
- Buy the meals from the kitty, and let people bring the extras: a bottle they like, a game, a speaker, a cake. Splitting it that way keeps the accounting simple and still lets everyone contribute.
