Title: I turned up for the meeting tonight ...
Post by: MarkS on Jan 29, 2020, 21:06:38
I turned up for the meeting tonight (Wed 29th Jan).  Lights were out and it was all locked up  :(

I then realised today is the 5th Wednesday in the month - not the 4th Wednesday.

Done that myself Mark but it's not so bad for me.

You should have called and popped in for coffee, it would have been good to see you.

Well, thanks for the effort of coming along Mark!  Would have been good to see you.

Please do double check as I notice there are a couple of months this year where the first day is a Wednesday and this can throw you out. 

This actually happened at the beginning of last year to another of the hall users who was in the middle of session when I turned up to get the hall set-up for our society meeting.  A quick discussion and they realised that they had also miss counted the Wednesdays due to the first day of the month being one!

Best

Hugh

Ironically I wanted to buy an OAS calendar.  If I already had one I wouldn't have made that mistake!
