James - I am also aware that my warm weather requirement, combined with my chosen dates, indicates a preference for the Northern Hemisphere, but our geographical distribution suggests that anyway, right?
Only date above that suggests warmer weather for here is the September one, but that's no good for me. September = Exams, or immediately before them. I didn't expect it to be here anyway... making all of you buy international tickets just to visit me seems a bit unfair.. Probably easier if we keep it on the cheap for as many as we can (so Europe/Nth America) and you all pay for my ticket j/k. Being a student, the only time I'd be able to do it is my mid-year or summer break. Summer break is a no-go as it's Nov-Feb -- and I'll have an industry placement at the end of 2009. My mid year isn't too flexible either, this year was 25-Jun to 13-July, plus a few days before because my exams finished early. I can't say when it'll be in 2009. James
