A quick update!
I just got an email from DHL saying that they have collected the package, I'm not sure when to expect it so I think this Thursday is definitely off as a starting date. If I hear enough screams for a different timetable we can do it but otherwise I'm thinking the first Thursday of each month, June, July and August and I will start arranging a venue in the next few days. (as this is how it was sold to everyone)
Anyway upon someone else's suggestion I kind of like the idea of three weeks in a row, so personally I'd be willing to switch to that format if it got more noise, should I just set up a poll to see how people feel?
