Oi! Down here it's winter :-)> Ordinarily, I'd be happy to have the Open Gallery in August but April 1997 was the first PUG so I think it would be good to celebrate the 20th Anniversary in April 2017. I chose 'Open Gallery' as the theme for that month because I thought it would maximize participation. I like the idea of choosing a previous submission for April, too. Maybe a 'favourites' theme for April with an encouragement to choose a previous submission. I guess we could have two Open Galley months.
