<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>My preference would be for 5, same as Bernie and for the same
reasons as Bernie's. Alternate. Unless any of us live permanently
unavoidably very busy lives then either fortnightly in rotation or
twice per month. Say, second and fourth Tuesday evenings?</p>
<p>I've fixed my laptop so can join in online as well as personally.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Mike<br>
