July is good for me as Bank Holiday Monday in August is the day my birthday falls on this year I think (and I'll be spending it with the family). It sounds like it might be a good thing for tourism too, I mean other LUG members around the country might be looking for somewhere to get away to for a couple of days, if we could find a reasonable cost B&B in Paignton or Torquay we might get a few visitors to the area.
