The morning after the AGM has the most yes's, but the morning of the
27th has the most yes's and (yes)'s. There are a lot of people that
have expressed an interest in going that haven't voted yet, so I'd
like to give it another 24 hours before we make a final decision.

I just put every weekend this month (apart from this one) up there. I
know there are clashes (I included the afternoon after the AGM, which
clases with a London meetup, so Liverpool, Monmouth and Cambridge
shouldn't feel that I'm discriminating against them), but I thought it
best to just a wide choice and see what works best for people.

Yes, it does make sense, but there are already 5 people on the talk
page on wiki apologising that they can't make that day and 2 people
that have posted as attending but have said they would much rather it
was on a different day.

Yes, we should try and include people by remote as much as possible.
