Our club does mostly day trips, and very few need any kind of
reservations. So, yes, many people call the coordinator on Thursday or
Friday for a Saturday trip. If it really makes a difference, as in the
case of needing reservations, perhaps your announcement could say
"Sign-ups close at 9:00 PM Wednesday" or some such. 

I believe that a person who takes his own time to volunteer to lead a
trip for others' enjoyment has the right to dictate terms. My
instructors can tell you that as the Training Director I don't tell them
where or when to hold clinics or how many people they should accept.
