the dates?

ok, i have one important thing to discuss with all of you! and it would really be supernice if the answer in the end would be YES :)!
concerning the INCM007 Croatia…
well, i know it stands written in the EASAguide “the INCM is held every year in November” and it has been like that in last few years, but if we could ignore that little sentence just this one time and do it in october 2007. :) can we?
the situation is:

1. october would be much better because november is in the middle of semester and students eager to help would be much more busier as well as the teachers wiling to give a lecture or tutor possible workshop.
for all those not informed Motovun, the little town where we plan to host Incm, is around 300 km far from Zagreb, so we are in completly another part of the country. so all the organizing team will have to be there for all 7days, we want have the oportunity of some people being there to help for just an hour or two, or dropping by every other day, like it was in moscow, ljubljana, belgrade and even brighton… so having it before helps us having much more people, and teachers willing to help or participate.

2. the facilities that we will be using are not heated so the professor from our uni who is in charge of it says we could have heating problem (although it could be solved, but would need much more money and sponsors) and is pressing us to make it before if possible…

3. and one more thing: ana and me, 2 out of 3 main organizers, are gonna be doing our diploma then, and concerning our deadline, which is the middle of december, we would really have to have clear november for doing it and having INCM in october would be so much less stress. if it was held in zagreb we could have more helpers and making us less responsible, havin much more free time, but as mentioned before its in Motovun.


i really hope you see the problems and i hope this want be the issue, and you will understand our need to move the dates of incm, and have it from 15.10-21.10. 2007 or 22.10. – 28.10. 2007.
For us the first dates are better but i wanna know your reaction and does it make any difference except beeing “against” the guide.
i appologize for not discussing all this in Moscow, but as you all know, we decided to have the INCM in last second, and we werent aware of all these problems.

anyway, we are really totally involved in preparation for it, having lots of good ideas to make it A GOOD and productive INCM with posible workshop.
the exhibition of Moscow+easa005 posters is after budapest and belgrade coming to cro on 24th of february and thats when we will present easa007 competition for participants and INCM007 croatia,.,
hopefully for october..

please, i wanna hear your reacitons, and hopefully get a a concenssus on it..
we promisse a great incm

hugs from cro
ana, iva and ivan
