Thanks Lou. Forgot about the bank charges. Perhaps we can handle this as we do group meals. That is, I can pay up front for those who expect to be reimbursed by the TEI -- and especially for those who bank in Euros or Pounds. Just let me know who you are and I can send my card number over to the hotel. pfs On Fri, May 8, 2015, at 15:29, Lou Burnard wrote:

No problem for me, though as usual bank charges are likely to be iniqitous... I suppose this hotel doesn't take payment by payPal?

I also echo Peter's appreciation of the efficient organisation!

I have received the attached confirmation from the hotel, listing Council members and their intended arrival and departure dates. I would appreciate it if you could check to make sure yours is correct.

As for payment, I am told that the library entered an "accounting nightmare" the last time they tried to pay for everyone as a package deal. Is everyone willing to pay their own bill and ask for TEI reimbursement? If not, I could conceivably pay for everyone personally in advance, and then ask TEI to reimburse. But that would be quite a lot to put on my personal credit card.

Excellent! Especially the croquet. Will flamingoes be laid on, or do we have to bring our own? On 08/05/15 23:07, Paul Schaffner wrote:

Since it seems to have become a tradition of sorts, and a visit to the American suburbs may be an exotic adventure for some, I am thinking of offering a more-or-less traditional* US-style barbecue at home on the evening of Thursday 28 May. You could browse my vast clutter of books and tools, pace an equally vast expanse of scruffy grass (weather permitting), and engage in sedate sports (baseball! frisbee! croquet!). Transport would have to be arranged, but that seems feasible. What think ye?

*presumably with vegetarian options

I hadn't thought about the conversion charges. US -> CAD will also incur a cost. Can you include me? Cheers, Martin On 2015-05-08 02:59 PM, Paul Schaffner wrote:
