As Brighton is rather close to London can I suggest that we try and avoid having this clash with the London meetup? That still leaves you the 1st, 3rd and 4th weekends of the month.

I don't see any info on a London meetup that weekend, or is it "common knowledge" and they are always on the 2nd weekend or something?
