OK - April 25th is looking difficult - would a week later work better for people?

I can make that week work as long as it's not Friday as I'll be heading to Belfast for a wedding.

Unfortunately not for me I am away that week. TBH original suggested date was difficult too. We don't have anything after Mid in the diary for a bit thus how about early June?

I'm good w/c 29th April. Would prefer it not to be Thursday 2nd, but each night is possible.

I doubt there's any week that will suit everyone, and only Charles seems to have a problem with w/c 29th April.

Unless there's crying and gnashing of teeth in the next 24hrs, I propose to email the B&F to see if the Red Room is free on Tues April 30th.

I’m not crying or gnashing my teeth, but as I remarked earlier, my diary is rammed in April and May.

I can’t make any date in the week commencing 29 April.

I can likely do 30 April but may be a bit jetlagged. An evening of young LBV will definitely help, right?

I wouldn't object to June if it's better for the group.

But São João is on June 23rd and some of us might not be in the UK.

What about week commencing 27 May?

Have checked with the B&F, Thurs May 2nd or Thurs May 23rd are both free. As later dates seem problematic until the end of June, let's go for one of these two.

May 2nd has two down and one sub par - how does the 23rd pan out as an alternative?

OK - May 23rd it is. Red room booked.

I gather a new menu is being launched this spring, so hold fire on choices until we can see what they now are.
