The way I see it is, Monday is a good evening because it's going to be 
relatively quiet, and, well, a couple of beers with some mates is something 
to look forward to at the end of Monday. And it's better to start late 
because it's not good to go to the pub early then have to drive to work the 
next day.

So is anybody else going to volunteer to be a Swindon Representative? No point 
in having just the one, so how about it folks? A little commitment to the 
cause?
