robert_parker Posted November 18, 2007 Share #61 Posted November 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Andy Just a thought but maybe 48 hours is a little shot, even for a sudden death playoff - I suspect a number of people who would like to vote may not always sign in daily and a keen participant could miss out, just because they signed off for a couple of days on business, or whatever - maybe maybe one 5 or 7 day cycle is reasonable, so that most would have a chance to vote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Hi robert_parker, Take a look here One Challenge (Europe) 2008. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
andybarton Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share #62 Posted November 18, 2007 Good point, Robert. We're in no rush, after all Need to decide which weekend in October too... 4/10, 11/10 or 18/10? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert_parker Posted November 18, 2007 Share #63 Posted November 18, 2007 Need to decide which weekend in October too... 4/10, 11/10 or 18/10? Intuition says 11/10 as it's closest to previous dates and somehow falls into that gap between the end of the holiday season and the start of winter / business conferences...but I'm ok with any of the above Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill Posted November 18, 2007 Share #64 Posted November 18, 2007 Have we a volunteer organiser yet? Regards, Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybarton Posted November 18, 2007 Author Share #65 Posted November 18, 2007 On the assumption that a hundred people don't suddenly turn up and vote, it'll be between Barca and Krakow. Steve Unsworth has previously told me that he has a friend in Barcelona, who could be able to help (esp with a meal in the evening and a suitable lunchtime venue) and I think that James Earley said he could help out in Krakow. (James?) I am more than happy to share my wonderful spreadsheet (to be revealed tomorrow evening ) with any organiser to use or ignore as they wish. We may have some new software to automatically count votes by then, making a spreadsheet redundant. Checking and rechecking votes cast is a time consuming business, as you will know Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
earleygallery Posted November 18, 2007 Share #66 Posted November 18, 2007 Yep I'll put my hand up if its Krakow - I've only been once but found a great restaurant and a few nice bars.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 18, 2007 Share #67 Posted November 18, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) It's going up to the wire <grin> James, don't forget to let me know about that resto and the bars for my trip there in December! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spylaw4 Posted November 19, 2007 Share #68 Posted November 19, 2007 Intuition says 11/10 as it's closest to previous dates and somehow falls into that gap between the end of the holiday season and the start of winter / business conferences...but I'm ok with any of the above Remember that Photokina 2008 is on 23-38 September. So it may be best to steer clear of 4/10 as being a bit close for those who may, like me, want to go there! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 19, 2007 Share #69 Posted November 19, 2007 So Krakow it is - and a very close call indeed. Over to you James <grin> Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

spylaw4 Posted November 19, 2007 Share #71 Posted November 19, 2007 Looks like it'll be a week in Poland in October then 11th OK? Yep! But maybe not a week - more like an extended weekend. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunsworth Posted November 19, 2007 Share #72 Posted November 19, 2007 The 11th is ok here too. Since I'm off there for 3 nights at the end of December I'll wait until I get back before I decide how long to stay next October. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

stunsworth Posted November 19, 2007 Share #74 Posted November 19, 2007 The salt mines featured on the recent Eastern Europe Michael Palin series. There's also Auschwitz, for reflection rather than entertainment. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wieliczka Salt Mine near Krakow (I kid you not - World Heritage Site. looks incredible) No need to go that far for a salt mine, there is a really good one within 30 miles of Castle Barton.
