Simple question; is it going to happen?  If so, when and where?

Simple answer; I hope so, but it's by no means certain.
The target date is, as is normal, the last weekend i n September, so this year that falls on the 28th to 30th of September, HOWEVER, a venue is yet to be confirmed so it may be that this date is not possible.
As to where, I am awaiting confirmation (or otherwise) for the latest possible venue. If it is all good then it will be announced this week some time.
I am hopeful but this is something like the 20th venue I have tried to sort and for various reasons none so far have been suitable/available on or even near the dates we are aiming for.

As soon as I know you will all know.  (y)
