I'd like to hear what other people think about this. I think we probably
have the resources to put it on, but it would be a bit pressed: although
it's over a month away, it would need quite urgent action.

One problem I can see immediately is that weekend is May bank holiday -
lots of people (me included) will be away for a long weekend, so it
could be a bit of a battle to draw people out into London for a talk.

How many people here would be willing to day trip to the capital on the
29th?

Cheers,

Alex.
