Start time is 14:00, and I'll wait at least ninety minutes after that for the first arrivals.

Do you know for certain if anyone is going to turn up, or are you just hoping? I'm definitely in bath the following weekend, so if it was postponed a week you could at least have one person turn up for certain :)

Currently expecting at fewest two others with joint probability >70%, so I'll still do the original day. But I'll bear the next week in mind; we might do two weeks in a row.

Sorry, I'm actually in bath the weekend after that (oops). My use of the word 'definitely' seems to not have been properly probability-calibrated in this case.
