Andy, to be completely honest mate, I agree wholeheartedly BUT, we asked in a separate thread what everyone wanted and this seemed the only viable weekend evening - can you imagine the flaming Iain and I would get if we suggested a Friday or Saturday night!
Like I said, it's only to see how things go and judging by the masses of names on the list to attend so far, I can't see it being a regular arrangement tbh - saying that, it's not my call but I'm sure between Iain and I we can keep you all posted!
