We'll be there from 7 - 14th April. I don't think that fits in with any of your usual meetings. Bert's Bar was a little crowded last year - but it was a Friday night. Does anyone fancy meeting us there on Monday (10th) or Tuesday (11th) April? I guess Wednesday or Thursday would work too, but we'd like to get a date in the diary soon so we can book stuff for the other evenings. Cheers, Dave...
