While I'd love to (apply to) come to one of those, it will have to be a later one: my planning horizon is much longer than one month and change.
I suspect this is more likely to be the case for those of us who are "older" (I'm taking that to mean "older than any of the instructors").
May I suggest scheduling and announcing the next one well ahead of time, like six months or so?
This one is a bit of a windfall; the facilities rented for the full rationality boot camp program turned out to come with a free week's rental at the beginning; and so, given the demand voiced in the comments to the main RBC, we decided to make use of it.
But, yes, I will try to do that in the future, if we continue to run these. I understand that many people, and especially many of the people we want, need to plan ahead.
This would be very helpful.
Yep I agree. not just for Being Older (which leads to scheduling considerations, including a requirement to give advance notice of "holidays" from normal work hours)... but also coming from a different continent - thus requiring advance notice to book flights that aren't ridiculously overpriced.
