Hi guys, here is the first schedule for the Weekend Challenges for this year. It covers the next 23 weekends so far; I'll revisit this in another 4-5 months so we can set up the schedule for the rest of the year. That way if anyone doesn't want to do any more or we have new volunteers, I can slot them into the schedule.

I have assigned everyone a colour to make it easier to pick out your rows in the schedule. I've also assigned you a nick-name (if I didn't already give you one) so sorry if it isn't what you'd choose, but this makes it easier for me! If there is a YES after your name, this means you want me to remind you when your weekend is coming up. I will email or PM you on Wed or Thurs of that week so there's time to find a replacement, if for some reason you can't do it. Let me know if I've got this wrong!

guineamania = GUINEA

So everyone I've listed here, if you can please advise in a comment here if the dates I've assigned are good or not, that would be great. Monkey, there's a comment just for you above, so please let me know as soon as you can if I can firm this up or if you want to swap.

And if anyone else wants to volunteer as back-up or for later in the year, let me know in a comment here too! Thanks, everyone, and I'm sorry for the delay! ;-)

Oh, and I must add a BIG THANKS to the members who so very kindly jumped on board and ran the weekend challenges for the weekends already passed this year, guineamania, elasticella and tkeylasunset! You are all stars! ;-)
