I remember we had quite a lot (100?) of external visitors that day,
due to a lot of publicity. We definitely sold lots of T-shirts that

Small question about the point 7:
7. Repas
Déjeuner : 8 h. ; Dîner 12 h. ; Souper : 18 h. [...]

After today's meeting with Le Camp [1], I decided to come as well, I
will take the same train as Gaudenz (the IC 723 from Genève arrives in
Bern at 12:26).

I think something like inflating the real "cost overheads for good beds" and
billing them to attendees might be a good way to rise "some" money, as anti-
