Chamber Choir Summer trip

Dear all,

We are undecided where to hold our 2013 summer trip and would like your thoughts on a couple of options.

The dates are likely to be in the summer school holidays and probably around the weekend of the 17/18 August.

We really need a venue that is likely to be busy with tourists  has interesting potential singing venues and allows for those that are short of time (including Ed) to arrive on the Friday pm and leave on the Sunday pm.  Extreme summer heat  does not suit everyone as well.

We have done lots of research on flights out of the North East and concluded that destinations with the right flights in terms of times and price and  that we haven't visited already are few and far between - probably limited to Cork and Palma. (Palma is likely to be too hot in August so that is out).

So we think there are two options:

Pay more for flights e.g SAS flying to Copenhagen is showing £250 for return journey (before any extras they may charge for) and I notice this morning there are only 4 seats left outward a that price, so very soon the costs will be more. (Choir's payment of Ed's costs would go up as well with this option)

or

Stay more local and make our trip OK based - suggestions being London or Cambridge.  Ed has some contacts which MAY get us some good venues but we haven't started that process yet so no guarantees.

Please can you let me (Nicky, via the gmail account or my own email - just reply to this email if easier)  have your thoughts on these options ASAP and if you have any other suggestions that will fit our criteria then please do let me know.

Many thanks
