Date for PuG crawl in Cambridge.

[Tris39]

Also leaving it until (much) later decreases the chance of reasonable weather.

It looks as though the extra votes for 28th were Spinko and Tris.

Pushing it from 28th forward to 11th November will make negligible difference to the weather, unlike mid-January, but mid-October will mean a gap of five months until the Spring crawl.

Unfortunately the 11th of Nov has the possibility of engineering works, can't be confirmed as of yet, there are certainly works on the Sunday which will effect me if I decide to stay over, which would be preferable.
By way of comparison last years trip to Burton was held on the 14th of October.

Pushing it to 11th November will make negligible difference to the weather, but mid-October will mean a gap of five months until the Spring crawl.

As we only plan three crawls per year, a gap of between five and six months between autumn and spring is normal. (Autumn '22: Oct.14th. Spring '23: Apr.14th. = 6 mths.)

The main difference between 14th and 28th October and 11th November is sunset:

14/10 18:08
28/10 17:38
11/11 16:13

[It makes no difference to me, as I am no longer planning on going to Cambridge, but I thought it might be useful to have some facts.]

OK lets try and move this forward..

The way I see it currently is that Spinko is buggered if we move it to the 14th, and I am buggered if it stays on the28th.. So enpass and we stay as we are..

Therefore its last call time...

Is anyone else buggered if we move it to the 14th ?

Is anyone else buggered by the rail maintenance work on the 28th?

Speak now or forever hold them firmly...

Big Steve is buggered on 14th, but ok for me, 28th is a pain but doable.

More buggery as I can make any date apart from 13th/14th. Another suggestion: if it's down to railworks, would it not be conceivable to go not for the second most popular date, but the second most popular venue and stick to the 28th, or has everyone bought tickets?

21st of oct for Cambridge ? Trains are good, only 5 voters, did everyone vote for the only dates they could do or prefered dates ? I can do any saturday realisticly and probably Fridays though means taking time off work. Cardiff at this stage will cost at least an extra 20 quid for me on the trains though not a major issue, I would prefer Cambridge.

[Bucking Fastard]

I could make Saturday 21st in Cambridge ,and would be prepared to take the rail replacement bus to Cambridge on the 28th October or alternatively go to Cardiff on 28th October if thats any helps .Sounds like the 14th isnt going to work for Big Steve,Tris and Spinko.

I am buggered if it stays on the28th..

Can you do the 21st?

[Tris39]

Can you do the 21st?

I can do the 21st, but does this end up putting anyone out in the process?
