I think there were plans to get us continentals to go to beautiful Lincolnshire in 2004. But anything is still possible of course. Hey, I might even organise another meeting in Bochum (Germany), where I live! On floor space issues: Eric, I'm sorry, the floor is more than fully booked now, but I'm working on extra space at other places. Problem is, most of my friends are students and have little floor space, plus they don't plan as far ahead as May next year, so it will take some time. Bear with me! I'm trying my best, and would love to have everyone stay at my place, but then we'd have to take turns sleeping.
Last weekend, I've asked around for school/church rental possibilities. Turns out that most churches are very commercial: I've tried 3, and all of them are even more expensive than the bar I've already booked for the Saturday night. So, this would only be a possibility if we were willing to fork out a lot of money. Nobody seems to know about schools, and I haven't phoned any yet. However, the scouting hut, which is next to the camping site (which, by the way, is very nice: I've inspected it now), would still be available for rent.
Well, I'll just mull over it some more!Letty
