I'm leaning toward April. The reality is, the weather up here in the mountains is not that much better in May, and I have another late May-early June thing I want to go to myself. I want to include people from that group in my weekend invite too without stressing their schedules. More and more my focus in on what will net the most music and the greatest number of musicians, and now I have some local contacts to look to for the foundation of a Gathering. You don't mind if it's not "just us," do you? *G*

Also, the number of people who said MAYBE last time for May, and then went somewhere else, is still looming in my mind.

So I'm penciling in April 18, and I'll make a firm decision shortly.

Do we want workshops, and do we want to do them ourselves or pay some ringers with particular expertise?
