Hi Lyz, I'll drop by :)

Is this a 'Women' only affair?

Is this a 'Women' only affair?

No. The channel is, and always has been, open to all genders. This meeting is no exception :)

[reiatzu]

I'll make sure I'm free then.

Since the mods apparently have no sense of humor, and just in case other forum members don't either, I have removed the original content of this post.

Bah Humbug.

:D

I'll see if I can ask Elizabeth to edit her post. I could do it for her, but I would prefer she could confirm these times, since the ones in the wiki also seem suspect. Thanks again for spotting that. ;)

You're absolutely right about the mistake, it looks like there was a typo on the wiki that I copied for this announcement

I've updated my original forum post and the wiki to reflect the correct time.

Thanks!
