For some reason I've got April 14th in my head, which happens to be a Saturday.
Don't know where the date came from - nothing in my calendar for that date, nor anything coming up in searches.
Could set that as a provisional meat date, and then there's four months to encourage as many lazy buggers as possible to get their arse somewhere for that day/weekend.
Certainly, although you'll note I've already mentioned avoiding bank holidays. Second or third weekend should be fine. Starting in the Maltings about 1ish, with Steve and Mouse having met for 11am Guinness at the Leeds station Wetherspoons, and Gaynor and I turning up slightly late because of a picnic or something.
