I would book three lodges!
May 2016 is so far away, I can't see this list not growing to 20 by then...

Jakov - thanks for starting that list - it makes numbers clear at a glance. It's probably also a good idea to book 3 lodges - the worst that can happen is that we would lose £100 if we cancelled later - not a big problem. Let's wait a few days; I expect things will be clearer by the end of the week.

Perhaps we should also think about closing the list when (if) it reaches 20 or at most 22. Three lodges can take a max. of 21 people all with their own bed - more than 7 in a lodge would mean two people sharing a bed - and I will be staying at home.

To make the bed situation clear to members; each lodge contains:

A room with a double bed
A room with a single bed
A room with two single beds
A room with two adult-size bunk-beds
A camp-bed which can be used in any room

That's 7 beds, so a max. of seven people. But I will check out the camp-bed to make sure if it is really usable, so in the worst case we might only be able to handle six members per lodge.

If wi-fi is readily available, plus adequate restroom amenities, I can do with a couch or similar simple arrangements myself.

NG can guarantee coverage of the deposited sum if the event isn't fully booked, by the way. These events are considered by the Team as one of the core attractions of NG and something that sets the NG community apart from other photo-related sites. In particular due to the fact that the events are fully member-driven. The members make up the site, not the owners.

I would be interested to join in principle, but it's too early for me to make commitments. In case there is still a vacant spot by the end of winter, I might join in then.

They say they are upgrading their wifi this autumn, and I don't think you should need to rough it.  "A bed for everyone and everyone in his own bed" - the new motto for Killin 2016.   ;D ;D

I'm off to London in about an hour. I won't be checking this page again until Friday morning.

this is really great news - I am in (we are talking May 7-14) with my wife Ulli, she picked up photography last year after watching me for nearly 40 years of struggling, so that list would then be

1. Bjørn R.
2. Jan Anne
3. Erik Lund
4. Jakov Minic
5. Sten R.
6. Frank
7. Simone
8. Anthony
9. Dave
10. Rosko
11. Ulli
12. Martin

If anyhow possible in one of the 2-bed rooms  . . .   ;)

Of course the deposit / full payment is now problem, just tell me when and where to send our  180 Pounds. My discussion with my wife is now: do we fly and rent a car or do we travel by car from Vienna, that is nonly a 2 days derive of maybe 2.200km . . .

Great, thanks for organizing

I plan to fly in to the nearest international airport and use a rental car from there.

1. Bjørn R.
2. Jan Anne
3. Erik Lund
4. Jakov Minic (room with double bed)
5. Sten R.
6. Frank
7. Simone
8. Anthony
9. Dave
10. Rosko
11. Ulli (room with double bed)
12. Martin (room with double bed)
13. Chris Dees
14. Susanne Fichtler (room with double bed)

Since we are filling up the space rather quickly, it might be a good idea to start occupying the beds too. So I have put down next to some names the actual beds in the lodges. Feel free to add to your names where you would like to sleep. That will help with the final pricing and make David's orgainising much easier.

I want to have one bed for myself. A rug on the floor will do as long as there are enough restrooms
