So, it seems that my strategy of "reminding" the Pizza Hut crew of our recurring room reservation a week in advance is insufficient. Avon has our room on the date in question. Perhaps we should just crash their party, maybe recruiting some drivers in the process?
Anyway, unless the Pizza Hut manager calls me back to say that he's ejected the Avonites so we can have our room, I propose we meet somewhere else in April. Let's get it sorted out quickly, so that we have ample time to notify everyone.
Please post your ideas for locations here.

Pizza Hut did, indeed, toss the Avonites, so the meeting will be in our usual location.

Well that's good news John. I found it a little disturbing that you would hang out with Avon people. Maybe it's a Paragliding thing.
