Timing of the Annual Reunion & AGM

Unfortunately as much as my wife and I wanted to attend this year's reunion, it will now not be possible due to work commitments.
-----I mention, as I have in the past, that I believe we are holding our reunions far too early in the year and would be better aiming for around St Barbara's Day (the weekend 5-7 December this year for example).
-----For some reason people always seem to think there is "too much on once we hit the silly season", but surely going to an Annual Gunner reunion is one of the things that would be at the more important end of the scale?

I would appreciate my apology being given for the AGM please.
