After looking at Plans A - D on that page, I propose the following:

*Friday:*
- Plan A: games and picnic in the park

*Saturday: *
- 20th Bday Party

*Sunday:*
- Plan B: football game and dinner (could plan football directly after
GUADEC closes, then dinner around 20:00. The women's dinner would be an
option at that time)

AND

- Plan D: pub/drinks at night (could start around 22:00)


 I know there were issues booking venues though. Could you please add any
information about issues we're hitting into the wiki page? Maybe we can
help brainstorm alternatives.

Could we have a whiteboard or large poster with all of the social events in
one place so that groups don't have to make their own posters?


Best,
