As much as I'm super interested in this, the chances of me getting my passport and the needed money together in time have pretty much dropped to 0%. I still plan to make the trip though, so if people are interested in another of these later in the year I could be able to get to/sound the call for that one.

That sounds like a fantastic idea!

Problem is, I'm too broke for trips to England...so unfortunately, I must miss out on this wonderful event...

The only problem with me attending is that my work has told me they're likely to send me out of the country on business (which will include a weekend) - but they can't confirm the dates yet, and I might only find out the week before.

At the moment, it's probably going to be the weekend of the 3rd that I'm away, but that could change. However, for now, it looks like the 10th and the 31st would both be doable for me.

Once a date gets picked, I'll do my best to attend. I don't actually have any other major plans for the month, so as long as I'm in country I should be able to come along.

Since you definitely can't do the 17th, and since I don't recall much interest in the 27th July, are people more favourably inclined towards August 10th, or August 31st? I seem to recall a general feel that later in the month would be better - the only problem we might have with that is that we'll probably be moving house around then, and might have to do something complicated to do with keys or something on that Saturday. So we might be more inclined towards August 10th.
