Those are -proposed- dates, not -actual/confirmed- dates.

Or should I just take those dates off anyway?

Thanks Cathy, yes the dates are now:

FRIDAY 22ND TO SUNDAY 24TH AUGUST 2008

So there will be Friday afternoon, all of Saturday and most of Sunday
for Unicycle fun, and if people want then they can arrange individual
things for the Monday, but it got too expensive for us to stay at the
venue until the Monday as it is Bank Holiday.

The website will be launched soon at www.unicycle.org.uk/buc15

Thanks a lot for that. Now I can beg on my knees at my workplace
tomorrow in the hope of getting that time off.

I'm still up for bringing a PA system, a hangover from the days I did
mobile discos. Come to think of it, there were roller-skating discos in
the early 80s. What would people think of the idea of a "rolling on
unicycles" disco at BUC?

GK, I honestly cannot picture what your discos must have been like.

I haven't stop laughing since I read it tho!

Any chance of a Facebook event being created once the booking is
finalised, preferably by an organiser? I'd like to link to it from the
Severn Wheelers group page.

Done, invite sent to you Danny, so if everyone can just keep inviting
those unicyclists not yet invited, event will follow but as events
disappear after the event this group can be used to add photos etc
afterwards.
