I would tend to agree with John and Roy - I think October 2004 is a good time to hold it.
It allows plenty of time to organise everything, and to allow overseas QL'ers to arrange any travel plans. QL2000 was held at a similar time, and was a huge success for these reasons. Plus air travel would tend to be a bit cheaper as it is outside the summer months. Personally, I'd love to go to Eindhoven - haven't been as a trader, only a punter many years ago. A bit more expense for me, but I don't care as I'd probably combine it with a holiday for the family next year. So, can we agree on a venue and date, and move on from there?? We need to start hyping up the event NOW. Europe or UK? There have only been a few voices so far, so what are the rest of you thinking?

Highly favoured is October 2004 and the venues under consideration are the Horizon Centre Portsmouth or St Joris College Eindhoven. Combining the event with the AGM is not an option as one would detract from the other. I would opt for Eindhoven as there is local support, an excellent motel within walking distance and it may influence attendance from mainland Europe. I hope to see you all there.
