And Terry's away in California, so his accomplaces will also be missing.
And the BUnix lot are tied up completing their project by Friday 7th so
they probably wouldn't show. And there's been little response to the
"let's vote on it".
Would delaying the meeting by a week help? So 11th or 12th of May?
Also, what day would folks prefer? It's nominally the "Dorchester"
meeting, Tuesday, but we can change that too if it helps attendance.

The car park helps a lot for those unfamiliar with Blandford. The Crown
Hotel is

and the car park can be seen at the bottom of the curve of River Mews.
Apparently, you get a token to let you out of the car park from the bar.
