Just a thought, that as we're doing the first weekend, just remember that the Monday won't be a Bank Holiday day off.
Not that I can give one, because I'm retired.

Through a Sambuca fogged brain, I seem to remember all periods being allowed on the Saturday? If that is the case, I thought perhaps a Big CoC game might be in order? Something along the lines of Der Fuhrer acquiring a taste for Black Pudding with his breakfast in late 1939 and as a result, landing a force of German infantry at Southport in 1940 (and perhaps gliding some Falschirmjager into Bury (hint hint Andy)) so that they can capture the Bury Black Pudding Factory. Resisting them will be elements of the Bury Home Guard, the Royal Lancashire Fusiliers and whatever other forces people want to bring along to shoehorn into the scenario.

If there are enough takers, I'd be quite happy to run the planning and co-ordination. I should be able to supply a spare platoon for those who don't have forces.
