So, for me the impossible dates are now official: no one leaves the job between may 2nd and june 16th.
I will gladly drive off to this meet if i have a chance, fight wind and rain to get there as you have seen last year, but it will all depend on the planned date and my work-schedule if it is held during the mentioned period.

Before of after this period there will be some possibilities to taks a few days off...
Hope to see you again in 2018!
