I like that idea. Prepare a list beforehand, and get people to do a 5 minute maximum slot on the solution.

Its actually on Saturday and Sunday only. You could try showing things off on Friday, but you'll probably just be talking to a whole load of paralytic programmers, who wouldn't know English if it sold off their cars and danced the tango in front of them.

If you want - you'll be lucky to get any free places though.

What people tend to do is book their accomidation in advance.

Also, some people show up on the Friday night, which means the minimum accomodation you need is Friday + Saturday

@Bouncy : Cheque is now officially in the post.

A minute ago, your post said 13 years old. Now it says 14. What age are you?

(I'm 14, but whether I'll actually bother/be able to attend is a different matter)

For people travelling from overseas or otherwise flying, you want to get to Gatwick Airport, since Chichester is easily reached by direct train at a cost of £19 return from Gatwick.

southampton airport would be better for domestic flights, its just 2 train stops from chichester.

dunno if southamton is international though, im sure it probably does cross-channel flights.
