For 2010 might we be able to push the window wider into early
September, as it seems there will be a lot greater availability of
accommodation then (at least in Oxford). Does anyone have any idea how
much pushing it back into early September would aversely affect
attendance? Are there any other reasons for the old July to mid-August
guidelines?
Please don't. I'm already eating myself over the fact that I cannot come
this year, because it's too late in the summer/winter (some have
academic terms earlier). Late July/early August turned out to be quite
good period, so let's not move away too much from it.
Cheers,
