[Craig Stacey]

Oh, I suppose now is as good a time as any to say that I won't be at pool until some time in October.

If there is a cancellation of pool this means we have a buffer week to account for it.  If we DON'T need to use that extra week to complete the session, this means we won't play again until January 8th.  (That is a four week hiatus.)
