I'd be interested - but an honest guess would be no more than 60% likely 
to be able to come even if everything could be organized to my 
specifications.   But 6 weeks isn't enough lead time for me. If it's 
before end of September, I know I can't come. If it's after end of Sept 
(and the dates can be fixed up soon) then my chances go up to 50%.  And 
if there are direct flights from Edinburgh (or maybe Glasgow) then it 
goes up to 60% :-)

I'm sorry I can't commit better than that - but I'd rather be accurate 
than overly optimistic.
