Question Author
thank you for the offer cliffyg, much appreciated, however could I suggest an alternative - would you like to start the April game the following weekend ?
Even if the game was roughly scored, I could pick it up when I get back and we'd continue without loosing the first week.
The final week always involves a fair bit of work, scoring and printing out the full results, perhaps I'd better do that, but there's nothing to stop a one-off game over Easter - how does that sound ?
