Changing from 'Interested' to 'Attending'. I'll be down for Saturday until about 22.00 when I have to hop on the train back up to Züri.

Boat Tour Info

That is why I have set up the Doodle so I can have an idea of numbers for the boat trip...

The lunch is very good I will contact the CGN later and already book the table and add people as the give me their definitive answer...

But will need to know the week before at latest.

I might have to go on a business trip to Berlin. I was looking forward to this and finally getting to meet SWISSBOBBY. Maybe a meet-up at the Mousetrap next time you're in Züri?
