Yes, I saw that. I assumed you weren't intending to organise a Do a year ahead hence I though it was a typo, but obviously I am wrong!

The Swiss are exceedingly good at planning ahead, and being on-time It rubs off on everyone here.

As another CH based FTer, I will of course love to be part of the festivities.

I am definitely in for this one, especially considering I'm based for much of the year in Montreux. Usually on holiday in August, but I will watch this space and adjust accordingly. I know the area pretty well, so if anyone needs info or anything checking out I could be of help. Remember, it is pretty damned expensive out there, so you might want to start warming up your hotel points. Eating is also quite dear, but there are options.

Interesting. I might be tempted to make the hop over the Röschtigraben.
