Unfortunately this is how the poll ended and with such extended lead times these things do happen.

No probs, David. Just life, is all.

We are now coming up to the three month window to confirm this GB unfortunately just two of us have declared so we need another six before I can PM John about this.

I am greatly confused about "long lead time" and "three month window" statements.

The only limit is paragraph C.4 of the Guidelines: "Proposals should be made 4-6 weeks, but not more than 6 months, before the proposed date."

See also paragraph C.6, at the bottom: "If, after a couple weeks, the proposed GB hasn't generated enough interest, let it go. See A.7."

I'm sorry, but this GB is a poster child for why we made certain philosophy statements and put the 6 month limit in the Guidelines. It has been dragging on since April 2014, witness 8 pages of posts, never finding enough to start, or even to settle on a start date, and the current poll puts the possible start date near the two-year mark.

Let it go - please consider a Shared Build, or a Workbench build, or an Aviation forum build.

Greg, Paul, PMs sent.
