Ardgour 2012

[the-alchemist.livejournal.com]

Just a very quick note to let you know there will be another Ardgour trip in 2012, and I will be organising it (having checked with the previous organisers that I'm not treading on any toes).

I think these things tend to work better when there's one person who takes ultimate blame responsibility, but I will certainly want deputies of various kinds, so if you'd be interested in that, let me know. I already have a few volunteers, but they're mostly among the people I spend most time with, so different volunteers might be helpful from an avoiding cliquiness perspective.

I've been giving some thought to how to compile the initial invite list. Currently I'm planning on giving priority to people who have been on more than one Ardgour trip in the past, and filling any extra spaces and the reserve list with people who have been on one Ardgour trip, and partners of people who are currently going on this one. Going to part of an Ardgour trip would 'count' the same as going to a whole one.

If you can think of a better system, let me know.

A couple of people have asked me whether I'd consider other venues instead of Ardgour. The basic answer is yes, I'll probably hold a vote on it if anyone nominates somewhere that can take approximately the same number of people, and which they might prefer. You can do that in the comments here, or in a separate post, or by email.
