Hello, I just remarked, that I am actually not so in favour of the last saturday of holidays for the following two reasons: 1. People are a) still in holidays b) just coming back c)tired, want to relax a bit before start etc. 2. A lot of people that we need to get in touch with some weeks before the events will be on holidays during july/early august. This probably includes universitiy employees as well as the responsibles for the places where we want to advertise. 3, During the short Swiss summer, people will spend *a lot* of their free time (especially Saturdays) in "public swimming baths" (blame leo for this term), e.g. in the lake. I doubt whether anybody would want to be on a hot day (last day of holidays or even last summer weekend) in a room, listening to presentations or working with computers. When it's hot, people in CH want to be outside, swimming, barbecueing and so on. Therefore I "nominate" a date in the second half of september (e.g. Sat Sept 23), then it won't be so hot and sunny anymore, people won't be swimming anymore and may rather come during the day (remark, we are not talking about the evening) that in the middle of the short summer. So I'm just afraid, that we decide on a day like the Aug 26th and are then disappointed 'cause the weather guys say that it would be the last sunny weekend in this year and then nobody comes. What do you think? Michael -- An eternity is very, very long, especially towards the end
