Will everyone be able to get to the event okay? I've heard that Dutch airspace is being closed from 7PM local time due to the ash cloud from the Icelandic volcano

Not looking too good I am beginning to think Simon must be Psychic.
Anyone got any bright ideas.

I could give three people a lift to Eindhoven (it would be a squeeze though) if you can get to me for 2:00 on Friday, but we're not coming back until 7pm on Sunday, and you'd need to sort out the hotel etc.

I have cancelled the hotel and carpark as after midnight you lose the money. If some how the flight is not cancelled I will try and rebook otherwise I give up. Thanks for the offer Simon but my whole family are down with bad colds and I think I am coming down with it so it wouldn't be fair on you and the others to be couped up in a car with me for hours on end.

[Simon Windisch]

I remember you were ill last time Peter, get well soon.

KLM has reported not to schedule flights until 14:00 this afternoon, pending on the ash clouds movement.

There's more info here: http://www.ryanair.com/en/notices/gops/ ... AND_ASH-GB

It mentions: "All flights today to/from Belgium and Holland are cancelled until 17:00hrs", but also "All flights today to/from the UK are cancelled"

The flight that Peter, Dave and I are on isn't until tomorrow morning, so we might get lucky. It has a list below of all the cancelled flights, and there's nothing for tomorrow on there yet, however it does show today and yesterday's occurance of the flight being cancelled.

I know which page I'm spam-refreshing today.

[Simon Windisch]

Good luck guys.
