Wow!
The events and attendee list looks great! Count me in as Gold. I hear that AA and UA are having a nice little attack of each other's hubs right now and there are some tasty fares to a whole lotta Europe in the fall so gotta check fares!

I have been lurking on this thread the past week or so, but with the recent AB business class sale, add me to the confirmed list. Will be arriving in country the morning of 1 Oct and going to do some site seeing around Northern German, and will be attending the DO on 7-9, departing the morning of 10 Oct.

Hi everyone. Tours are nearly sorted. At this stage, we will be looking at a cap of about 35 people to keep the tours manageable. If there is interest beyond this, I will need to look at splitting the group into a couple of tours which isn't ideal but might be possible.
This isn't to exclude any additional participants from the social activities but the tour providers are indicating that their limits are around 35.

To me I have none providing they are somewhat well behaved (kids will be kids sometimes.) There is nothing with expanding children's horizons.
