Guys, I'm really sorry, but regardless of what date we choose, there will always be someone who can't come. It seems harsh but we just need to choose a date that most people can come on (e.g. the vote) and if they can't come, then they can't come. I want to meet Paulie and Starrman, and can come both weeks, so I'm not going to get involved in this discussion, but you need to just vote.

I think the fundamental problem with the vote though was the inability to distinguish between people first and second choices. If as it stands, 90% of 26th votes were first choice, and 90% of 19th votes were second choice, then we are choosing the wrong date by going with the apparent majority choice of the 19th.

Originally posted by rhbQuite right, so why don't we just have a vote where we all choose our preferred date between the 19th and the 26th only?
