Question for Simon re. Factory Visit 2008

[Blighty]

Is the visit still planned for 6th June? Really want to go, but I need to put in a request on the rota's ASAP.

Hi Simon - just to confirm I woudl like to come again if there is availability - first timers first.

Regards,
Matt

OK I will confirm go / no go with the factory visit by the end of this week

An unexpected Centennial hitch has polarized the galaxy-wide POP culture resulting in a rip in the fabric of time...
However, not every nothing was not lost; In fact, no Harman ten did.
Furthermore, I was informed this morning that Dr. Who has been retained by Harman to correct this glitch and that
no further leaking of additional minutes into the traditional "week" should be noticed.

Humm... Curiously however, it was also requested that no changes to the present lineup be noticed either.

Ray, please send half kilo of whatever medication your are taking. I may then be better placed to understand my position in the cosmos. I may be older than I think I was.

Unfortunately this would be too close now for me to organise time-off work, ferry and accommodation. I hope someone can fill my place.

The same holds true for me. Well, after a search and replace of "ferry" by "plane". Count me out for this year's visit. Better luck next time.

As Simon hasnt confirmed, I will not be able to commit to this now as I need notice to arrange time off work.

Dave,

Sure, no problem.
It should get to you by the end of the week...
Keep an eye out for it.

I suspect Harman has a lot going on just now and didn't want to bother them,
but the anticipation just got too intense.

So I resorted to humor.

Speaking of which...
you can put your eye back in now.

I think we had gotten to know the date and participants list by now based on previous years' visits. I think you are right about things being busy at Harman. It would be a pity if first timers have to cry off because 6 June is now too close. Maybe an autumn visit fits the bill better. A few months really isn't going to make a lot of difference and may enable those first timers to re-arrange their schedules to get there. They have to be the priority.

If a major change is necessary, off peak season dates would indeed be helpful
for those who have to fly....

But is it really too late to save... ?
