Can't do 3rd Sept, may be able to 2nd, but will have to do some SERIOUS sweettalking of SWMBO!

Ok. So we've narrowed it down to 2nd Sept so far, with some sweet talking

[emjaybee]

Just had a thought. The 2nd is JUST before most schools go back, anyone with children may be reluctant to get involved that weekend, PLUS, I suspect traffic across the country will be pretty bad for the same reason. Would end of Sept be more suitable once things have calmed down a bit?

These are the Saturdays that I'm likely to be working, but with enough notice can cancel.
12/08/2017
19/08/2017
26/08/2017
16/09/2017
30/09/2017
I'll need at least 1 week's notice so I can arrange cover.

Just had a thought...

...when Zippy was mucking about and pretending to leave he put up a poll.

Would it be a good idea to put up poll with a selection of weekends/days, maybe four (ish), and take a poll of which would suit members best, and then we go with the most popular?
We could spend the next year bandying days back and forth, just thought this could push the matter forward.

The idea was as close to Rustic's abode as is practicably.

Slightly off topic... ...Zippy could you resend me the members map?

[emjaybee]

Feedback from SWMBO, 2nd or 3rd Sept NOT an option. She said something about hospitalisation, I know I can outrun her, but if she creeps up behind me I'm f*****!

[Blocky10]

The 2nd and/or 3rd Sept seems to be favourable atm. Apologies to emjaybee but thinking about it, there must be a hospital close by

There's also no reason why we can't arrange another meet a month or 2 later. It's not a once only thing. We need to pull fingers out, as a group, and have regular meets. We all seem to get on, don't we?, and you never know what's around the corner.
I'm shite at motivational speeches


Therefore, folks available for 2/3 Sept.

T-Doug

I'm up for a drag race.
I'll just borrow one of the wife's frocks

[don simon]

I'm staring to lose track on who I think T-Doug should get a room with.
