Anyone thinking about it? Depends for me on whether the £/EUR rate is a bit more sensible than it was last year

Gill talked about it soon after she got back for the 2009 one. Seeing as it'll be the 10 year anniversary, Sebby was hoping that a lot of LSST will come.

I think a lot would have come this year had it not been for the sharp drop in exchange rates, so I can only guess everyone will be applying the same thinking as you for next year.

I'd love to go again, mainly for the social aspect of it (Dan, you have to bring your air guitar again Smile

), rather than "training"...money will probably be even tighter given the financial committments I've got this and next year.

Interested... depends on cost and family commitments though.

Just changed some for some Euros today and £219=€230 so unless there is a dramatic change I will not be spending over £700 to learn very little. For those with big technical improvements to make though I would highly recommend it if you can afford it. It is a great experience and may of us have come back transformed or at least knowing what we need to work on to make the biggest impact to our performance. If it can coincide with a return via the Berlin half marathon then you can put it into practice too.

I wouldn't say I am a specialist in currency markets, but it is unlikely that the £ will go back to the old 1£/1.45€ rate anytime soon.

Now I said it there is actually more chance it does Smile

I want to go, again it's a question of cost.

Any chance of getting Sebby here for a weekend? Given, a lot of us haven't had any training from him for a while there should be enough interest.

Thinking about signing up for the small - which is the 10 years Sardinia party.

Nobody else tempted?
I'm thinking about the small too, with club and early booking (end of this month) and previous bookings; you could get 75 euros, or more, discount.
Just don't want to be on my own.
EDIT
Just had a look for flights and there don't seem to be any direct cheap flights on those days, so now much more uncertain. Sad

Starting to be tempted but I would still be looking at a lot of money to do the small. My serious racing ambitions are somewhat curtailed these days so I don't see any benefits and it's a lot of money for a social.

Ryanair does have some flights now but they are not that cheap, and I don't know if I can really afford to go plus I don't want to be the only one!
