Hi, Alex has tentatively reserved a place for the hackfest. He needs to know ASAP if he can go through with the reservation. The rough cost is: For ten people (the number signed up at the moment): Room:                   150£ per day:               450£ Tea, coffee, biscuits:  5£    per person per day:   150£ Finger buffet:          8.50£ per person per day:   255£ Total:                                              955£ Exchange rate: 0.69£ to 1 US$                     $1383 This seems like a reasonable amount to me.
