Yes, indeed!

I have no idea how they will act in Amiens concerning their self - made
regulations concerning the inscription and pre - payment, but at least we
will be a good number of vernians meeting there, and if Amiens put stones on
our way, we still have the possibility to arrange something together. I
arranged so easily a cheap hotel in the centre of Amiens for the germans
that I don't think there will be a problem to arrange a meeting room
ourselves if Amiens acts crazy - but as Garmt wrote: they can not put us out
of the door once we are there...
I finaly got the full banking details and so from the german side we are
able to to the pre- payment in time. But we are standing to everyone if he
will get problems from the organisation in Amiens because he was unable to
do the wanted way of registration. So Norm: you will get a warm welcome in
Amiens, and if not from the peaople there, at least from the other ones
taking part!

Greetings

Bernhard
