17th I can't do, as the Mrs is taking me to the Spa for the weekend..... yes, you may all laugh now. clearly this makes me gay.
November 3rd I cant do. I think it should be an evening as well. Much as the notts and the kendall boys did last time!
Ok, what about 1st December. Close to pay-day for everyone (except the self-employed!), plenty of time to plan... It's F.A. Cup weekend so nobody will really care too much about missing the football if applicable...
