Hi Oscar,

December 16th was chosen by committee because various committee members
have/are going to be going away on holiday very soon, and so we found a
date that was after they had returned. As far as we can recall,
consideration was made to try and avoid clashing with other events such as
Pantomime, but it looks like we got our dates wrong, for which I apologize.
We could try sooner but I know Ruisi comes back on the 14th and I'm not
sure when Arend comes back.

Regards,

Chris Forbes
UCC President
