I know what I was trying to say, but on re-reading yesterday's post, I don't think I said properly what I meant.

…….would be happy with half a dozen or so.    ………………. Skarpi, if you can definitely say that the event will go ahead, I will say yes, I'll be there.

I think that you need a minimum number of non-local Mudcatters for a viable international gathering. Local participation will, of course, add greatly to the occasion but generally tends to be on a more ad-hoc basis.

Last year, the number of hopefuls from abroad went steadily down until we only had two plus some friends. They, quite reasonably, reviewed the situation at my request and decided it would be better to call it a day. In the end, we had a quite delightful weekend with UK 'Catters from our region but their commitment came after the decision had been made for our foreign visitors.

If you get at least 6 non-Icelandic Mudcatters to commit to joining the gathering, rather than probable/possible maybes, then I will be one of them. Otherwise, I will be on the list of probables.

The later we meet the commitment level, the more difficult flights etc. will be to arrange and thus the more I will move from the probable to possible list.

Come on Mudcatters. I want to go to Iceland.
