[ANNOUNCE] April Social meet - this Thursday 5th of April at The Windmill

[Edmund von der Burg]

I think it is important to note that Friday 6 and Monday 9 April are
both bank holidays:

As such whatever happens Thursday night you have four clear days to
recover. Consider the glove thrown.

Cheers,
  Edmund.
