OK, in spite of the fact I said I'd wait for votes until mid February, given that fares won't wait, and that there is a clear winner in the vote for a date for the event...

...I'm setting the event date for the meet on the weekend of the 4/5/6 July. I hope this means that you guys (and gals, of course!) in the States can get some useful prices by booking NOW - so I would really urge that you co-ordinate amongst yourselves to work out (for example) party travel on a given flight here, meeting at an airport (Frankfurt??) and sharing car costs, etc. Believe me, it would be a real kick to see as many of you Stateside owners over here as possible!

Don't forget, Rob is promising some exciting new hardware and software, some of which I've seen, and Hugo may well turn up in his new (censored) with a custom (censored) already installed in the (censored). Patrick has got some really nice things to play with, and we will try to beat all records on beer consumption at the barbecue!

Be there or be square!
