I agree that it would be good for us all to stay in the same place and I would be happy with the self-gathering place.

I could book the accommodation for anyone travelling with us in a group, Bill, but those who might be arriving or leaving at different times would be better contacting the self gathering place directly.

For those who are interested, Bill and I are planning to fly out from Manchester on the Friday afternoon and stay until Wednesday morning but, as I said earlier, I won't be booking anything until there are at least 6 non-Icelandic Mudcatters confirming their attendance.

As I see it, for those who have posted to the thread this year, up to now we have:
Noreen and Stewart who have booked their flights;
Bill Sables, Mouldy and myself are probables;
Wolfgang, Zen, and Leadfingers are possibles;
Karen k has shown an interest.
