Anyone wo says "maybe" or "I'll try" in any thread to do with the AR11 means they aren't coming. They just want to feel like they're in the huddle.
Its a scientific fact.
Its next year! There's absolutely no reason barring death, redundancy or diablement that someone can't commit to this.
You can't say its because of money because you have 9 months to save. You can't say its because of time because a year is a good enough heads up. You can use an MOT, bust bike, worn tyres, flat battery or any other poor excuse. Its a year away! Plan better!
If you're going, you're going. None of this "I'll think about it" or "I'll try and make it" or "Hopefully, I can be there"
Commit! and go!
