(...) Shifting the dates from July/August to October/November makes sense to me, as the election then doesn't clash with summer holidays. I also have no objection to serving the extra three months this time around. William (18 years ago, 7-Oct-06, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

Hi Andreas, Firstly, thanks for making a version. If this is the "doomed" version of the picture I'd love to see the long-lived version.
