don't "entertain faint hopes" - that way you're relying on them to rely on telepathy, or on the alignment of the stars to favour you.
If you want to go, then say to all of them, "I have a commitment for that weekend. Could it be moved to the August long holiday weekend, please?"
You're setting yourself up to be a) disappointed and b) hugely inconvenienced by not speaking up. It's 20 months in the future, no plane tickets or dining halls will have been booked yet.
please, speak up. it's the only way the planners can possibly know that you'd prefer another weekend.
