People will be arriving over a number of days and are planning how many days they will stay. Lluis will organise a group dinner on Sunday 20 September. Quite possibly there will be Leicas stacked and probably Fujis this year ;-) If you are considering attending, just let Lluis know. My wife Bronwyn and I will definitely be there. Don't let that discourage you! If you would like to be on a mailing list to hear about arrangements and who may be attending just let us know here on the main list. For everyone who has not been there previously, Barcelona is a fabulous city for sightseeing, dining and especially street photography of course. 24 September should be the start of the largest festival event on the calendar for Barcelona. La Merc? Festival http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/events/la-merce/barcelona-la-merce.html I am sure that everyone who has been there in previous years will agree that this is a fabulous event to be part of and a photographer's paradise. The fire run, the giants parade and the human towers are real highlights but there are many many activities held over a week I think. Because Barcelona hosts so many visitors over this period, anyone considering visiting is advised to book their accommodation as early a you can. Many locations will allow you to cancel or alter your booking later at no cost. Cheers Geoff http://www.pbase.com/hoppyman
