The video was put together by the Homeground team from Kate
video performances on various TV stations around the World. They said it
would be impossible to get permission to release all the bits on a
commercial video. They would have to go and ask TV stations around the
World to releae the copyright. Even if they had the resources to
do this, it would take years.

Well I got to the Convention sure I had at least two spare films packed
in my camera bag but found I had none! I just managed a few long shots of
Kate. Also, someone came up to me and asked if I had any spare batteries
for the camera as hers had run out.

Yea, it would be good not to have to wait several years to meet people
again. The US parties occur at people's homes. I am not sure how many
UK/European people are likely to want to join in - we might need someone
with a preety large house! If we want to hire a hall somewhere then it
means people will need to pay something. Perhaps we can have a number of
gatherings around the UK - e.g. Jem, yourself and I are all located in
the Midlands. Perhaps there could be a Southern and Northern party as well?
Of course, in July there would be a reasonable chance of good weathe and
we could all arrange to have an outdoor gathering - on the Moors for instance.
