Quickie: Second Weekly Drop-in Day and Time

Our Tuesday Drop-ins have been gathering momentum, and finding favour with participants. Various folks have suggested that Tuesdays at 11AM London,UK time is not the best day and time for themselves personally.

I’m minded to diarise a second weekly drop-in, better suited to these folks’ schedules. Accordingly, I’m asking for suggestions as to the best day and time for this, and some indication of your needs.

Some factors include:

  • Work-time or personal time?
  • International participation and time zones.
  • Duration.

Please post your suggestions in the comment section below.
