What about Thursday evening instead? On Saturday I've got to travel to

Next Open Shakespeare meetup (in person and virtual): Thursday 3rd
June at 6pm. Tea and cake provided!

Physical meetup would be good! It means people can look at those
sample open shakespeare editions :) (I really need to put up some
photos ...)
