Dates have been confirmed (kind of) as 24/25/26 June. There may be a wild-card on the 23rd, but we don't know yet. Because of the lateness of the decisions and the certainty we'll have to qualify to get in (still being discussed) which may mean a late-ish call on booking travel etc, it's looking less and less likeley that I'm going to be able to make this one.
I'll try to make a call as soon as the relevant info is in, but basically, **if you're lower down the seedings and thought you didn't have a chance getting in to our Black Stabbath lineup to qualify, it's worth adding your name to the list of 'interested' people. **
Jono from London has booked his flights today, which are around £130-150, but it won't be until the end of March at the soonest that we'll know if we qualify, I reckon, and prices will be more than that by then. Train is still an option but that may take too long for me bearing in mind holiday time etc.
Bit of a bummer, but I'm actually relishing the opportunity to focus on playing national tournaments and hopefully push ourselves up the rankings a bit in time for the next Euros. There's rumours the National Champs will be in June, a week or so before he Euros!
I've taken Lucas off the list below, because he already booked to go for the original dates!
