Certainly there's no need to stay for the whole weekend. But not to rain
on anyone's parade - the date will have to be changed. When I wanted to
finally make the reservation yesterday, it turned out that there has
been some misunderstanding about the reservation procedure. In other
words, Oct 17 is dead. Chances are it will be Oct 3, but it's not
decided yet.
No, there's no web site. There have been postings with pics from earlier
meetings, but IIRC they are scattered on several people's sites.
