I have a website for a local Cub Scout pack who has events occurring on a regular basis, however I've been tasked with setting up an event where we only have X spots available for participation. I use Views extensively to build the calendars, which up to this point, had no limitations regarding space. The best module I've seen to fix this for me is the Event Module, however it's not supported in D6 (and looks like it has no activity anyway).
So the nuts and bolts...
I have 70 slots available for 'reservation'.
I want users to fill in the scouts name, parent/guardian name and preferred method of contact.
I want a summary view for the coordinator to view and I want email sent to him as scouts are registered for this particular trip.
I have explored Meetings module, and the Webforms module, and neither do just what I want or they over complicate and add overhead for a simple project.
I've entertained the CCK and building a content type but I dont want users to "Create Content" in order to register. Is there another module I've overlooked or a simpler way to accomplish this?

I created something for
I created something for entering a chess tournament using a CCK content type for the entry and Rules module to trigger sending out an email both to the entrant and the administrator. I had a view of who had entered so far, with a link on it so node/add/entry for a new person to enter.
I didn't have a limit on entries though - but you might be able to achieve that by having a Rule triggered when the limit is reached (maybe you could create a variable to store the total using a bit of custom php in the Rule)
I'm going to try and hammer
I'm going to try and hammer out something with CCK as you suggested, I just didnt expect it to be this difficult.
I found the signup module too, I may try both.
Thanks
