Should be in attendance! (by the way, there's no hyphen in VATSIM UK )

In Denver that weekend so unfortunately won't be in attendance

I would love to have attended as well but I will be in Málaga.  

Shall be there 

Interesting. In the original date thread where you asked when we wanted it, you had nearly 20 for October and only 3 for August. What was the thinking behind the mid summer date?

I agree. August is the most popular month of the year for people to go on holiday so I'm sure there will be more that are unable to attend because of this.

Hi James et al

Unfortunately the October date option was withdrawn by the venue. This has left us with no other choice but to schedule it for August. I understand that this will be disappointing to many of you who will therefore be unable to attend; on behalf of the entire team I apologise.

Should be able to attend, and have no intentions of attending the recuss dept! (Again).

 

That's a shame. I'd have gone so far as to investigate an alternative venue if it was that bad! 

Agreed, August is highly doubtful for me. 

Have to say, I'm highly disappointed. I've attended every year since Live's inception, and this will be another of the long list of events I can't attend, as it will fall on my then-Wife's birthday. I hope, strongly, that this will not become a regular date...

Also cant attend, away in Norway. Shame it's in August  

Contrary to everyone else, I'll be there

We've been at Aston for so long, that I imagine we have developed a strong with relationship with them. I'm not part of the Live! team, nor pretend to be, but I imagine the fact that we keep going back there has its benefits for keeping the event accessible and also affordable for the membership - not to mention that our bar tabs are probably something quite spectacular to behold.

There's also the fact of a) finding somewhere that is central to everyone and b), finding a venue with a realtively good level of infrastructure which can support us for 2 days.

It's a bit of a shame that a few people can't attend, but I'm glad the organisers have published this a few weeks earlier this year.

Can't make it

I hope to make this year's event. Will you, or someone else, be posting when the tickets are available - I know you said "...in a few weeks" ?

 

Hi Keith, yes we will post here again once tickets become available.
