Teifi Tour October 30/31st

Folks
After a reconnaisance mission last year to this river in south western Wales, I am prepared to organise a club trip for 2010, but I need to gauge numbers in order to size the accomodation appropriately.
The attached link shows the details

Depending on water levels the river is mainly Grade 2 with some stretches of 3 and a couple harder Grade 4 falls. Almost all the major features are all easily portaged, but safety cover is excellent and provided by professional rescue organisations. Even if you do swim you won't lose any gear.
Club paddlers would need have done at least one whitewater trip, but please talk with Di, me, or Mark if you are unsure. It would make an excellent open boat trip, perhaps portaging the harder parts. It would be an excellent family trip with the youngsters (and parents!) being able to portage anything they did not fancy on the day.
Without commitment would you like to indicate your interest.
