It may possibly be best to defer suggesting songs until we have an agreed date/secured the venue/people have coughed up. That would help to keep the song list discussion focused amongst those who are committed to the event. 

Sounds like a good plan.

Shall we start with a month at least.?

Is July  / August any good or are folks likely to be on Holidays?

In July I'm not free from 1st to 8th and the 10th, 11th, 15th.

In August I'm not free on the 23rd.

Apart from that I should be Ok.

Does it need to be at a weekend? The last one was on a Saturday. It doesn't matter to me because I'm retired.

yep, let's keep to weekend dates

Brocco

can't make the weekends of 2/3 July or 13/14 August

Difficult to be certain during mid/late July and August due to school holidays. It's also dependent on my brother being home in Cardiff for accommodation (I'd be traveling a fair distance) Definately can't do 29/30 July or 6/7 August. 

Jonathangus

I - and by extension, @onlyonebradders - won't be available the weekends of 9/10 July, 20/21 August and 26-29 August.

Brocco

responses received so far do not rule out these dates in July and August: 16/17 July, 23/24 July, 20/21 August (all dates in September are also still in play). Encourage those who have not already responded to confirm the dates when you are unavailable so we can get the venue booked and start practising! 

stratman3142

I think the response from @Jonathangus rules out the 20/21 August.

Brocco

@stratman3142 thank you!  The dates still in contention are 16/17 July, 23/24 July and all dates in September

roberty

Any of those are good for me @Brocco thanks for parsing through the responses

mrkb

Im ok for the two july weekends, cant do 17/18 Sept.

stratman3142

I'm OK for 16/17 July, 23/24 July.

Although I'm currently OK all of August, I assume August is out because others can't make it.

In September I'm only free 3/4th. I might be able to do 10/11th Sept but not certain at the moment.

bobblehat

I'm currently ok for the July dates and anytime September

Jonathangus

If we're into September, then 10/11 is out as well, sorry.

Brocco

for anyone yet to chip in, our revised options are: 16/17 July, 23/24 July, 3/4 September, 24/25 September

Sorry I can't do the 25/25 September. The other suggested dates are OK.

I'm completely free in October

Brocco

so we are down to 16/17 July, 23/24 July and 3/4 September - hopefully one of these options will work for everyone (please respond as soon as you can if you haven't already)

Brocco

@mart, @Vibetronic, @spark240 - how do these dates sit with you?

mart

I can do both July weekends, but not Sept 3/4. And Saturdays are easier for me than Sundays.
