Scotland?

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Dave, you are the local representative for NG. Go for alternative 3 and let us know the practical detail(s) for payment. Perhaps a deposit now and the remainder later?

[David Paterson]

Bjørn, Frank, Simone and everyone -

I am off to London tomorrow night for a few days (back Thurs. night). Before I go I will find out from the lodges how much they want as deposit. When I get back we should be in a better position to know how many members are involved and therefore how much we each should pay.

There was never a formal vote on which week we would do this, but most of those who expressed a preference went for 7-14 May. Option 3 (three 4-bedroom lodges) is also shaping up as the likely accommodation choice.

Please all, make your minds up if you are coming, and let me know asap!

[Anthony]

I'm in, 7-14 May and Option 3.

[Danulon]

I am also very interested in participating - final decision depending on the exact date.

[Jakov Minić]

I am in 7-14 May, too.

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Same as Jakov for me.

[David Paterson]

Gunther (I couldn't find the umlaut on my keyboard) - so far everyone has preferred 7-14 May, so it looks very much like that will be the week we book.

[stenrasmussen]

Me too..7-14 although I might have to cut the week a bit.

[David Paterson]

On the assumption that we rent the three 4-bedroom lodges, they want a deposit of £100 per lodge, £300 in total. If 20 members take part that's £15 each, or just under €21 at today's rate of exchange. But the deposit is non-refundable.

[Frank Fremerey]

You get the full rent from me and refund what is necessary if anything goes wrong

[Bjørn Rørslett]

Not sure whether we can manage twenty participants total to fill three lodges. But two lodges should be within reach.

Dave: I suggest you make a list to which people can sign up by paying a £15 deposit to you. We can use NG funding to cover any deficit if required.

[simato73]

I  can contribute 15 pounds even though it is not sure whether I will be able to go. If  I go it will be only for a few days so I hope I won't have to pay the full amount. If I cannot manage to go I am not bothered about the deposit.

[stenrasmussen]

15 pounds sterling is absolutely fine by me!

[Jakov Minić]

How about members just add their names to this list:

1. Bjørn R.
2. Jan Anne
3. Erik Lund
4. Jakov Minic
5. Sten R.
6. Frank
7. Simone
8. Anthony
9. ?

Yes, my feelings are the same, re numbers and the establishment of a list. We can get 7 people into each lodge - 3 in their own rooms and 4 sharing two more rooms, making 14 in total plus me (staying in my home) - 15 altogether. I believe the final number will be close to that.

When I get back from London we should be in a better position to know who will be coming, therefore how much space we need and how much we need as deposit. At the moment we we seem to have 10 (incl. thee and me) who are pretty definite, tho' Sten and Simone may have to cut their week a little short. At the end of the week I will pm everyone who makes it on to the list of "probables", with a request for whatever the actual deposit turns out to be.
