Thanks all for expressions of interest and suggestions. I will compile a running list of "probable" and "possible" attendees in the next day or two and post it up.

I am fairly easy about the dates from my end (as long as we agree this well enough in advance to make any necessary external arrangements). From what the UK 'Catters are saying do I take it that a preferred date for them would be 3-6 May 2001? That would be fine for me but would it suit other European 'Catters also? I think this is the first thing we need to firm up on so people can do forward planning.

Let me know what you think!

Best regards,
