Figured we'd best get going with this, as it's probably going to take some planning around dates.
Listing every Saturday between now and the middle of the year, so that we've got a decent timeline to begin with. (I'll only use the Saturdays for this list, just makes it an easier reference).
FEBRUARY
18th (aka tomorrow) - forget about it, too soon. Plus, I'm working. :)
25th - My first night shift, so I could play on the Friday night and Saturday day. Possibility.
MARCH
4th - Pauleen is visiting and we've also got Spiderbait on Friday 3rd. Always possible for some board game action with everyone in town.
11th - My first dayshift. Could play on the Friday & Sat nights (and could probably get the Saturday off anyway). Monday 13th is Labour Day holiday also. Good option.
18th - Have the Fri & Sat off (though work on Sun morning). Better option.
25th - I'm going to be working on the Fri night, so not a good option, though could play Sat arvo/night. Possibility.
APRIL
1st - I'm in Cairns, so no good for me.
8th - I've got a short shift on the Friday night (which I should be able to get off entirely). Totally free on the Sat. Good option.
15th - Nights Fri & Sat. No good for me. Plus, EASTER, so probably going to be a shit weekend.
22nd - My first night shift, so I could play on the Friday night and Saturday day. (Yes, this is back to the same as 25th Feb. Standard 8 week repeating pattern). Possibility.
29th - Work days on the Fri & Sat. Good chance of getting the Sat off, so would be a good option.
MAY
6th - My first dayshift. Could play on the Friday & Sat nights (and could probably get the Saturday off anyway). Good option.
13th - Have the Fri & Sat off (though work on Sun morning). Better option.
20th - Have the Fri, Sat & Sun off. Best option by far for me.
27th - Have the Fri, Sat & Sun off. Best option by far for me.
JUNE
3rd - Work the Fri night (which I might be able to get off if I apply far enough in advance). Totally free on the Sat. Possibility.
10th - Nights Fri & Sat. No good for me. This is the weekend leading into the Queen's Birthday though, so if we're looking to do something then, I could put in for leave for the week.
17th - My first night shift, so I could play on the Friday night and Saturday day. I'm still looking at taking that weekend off to head to Melbourne on the Sunday, so might even be an option for the Saturday night.
24th - Work days on the Fri & Sat. Good chance of getting the Sat off, so would be a good option.
