Very unlikely I could do it.. With a holiday and all these bank holidays this time of year my bank balance suffers..

Yep. The night before would be an option for those further afield but I would want an earlish start in the morning.

My free (study) days are Wednesday and Thursday so personally I'd prefer one of those but if everyone preferred a Friday I could see what I could do.

At the moment any day would be okay for me. Are we likely to run into Friday traffic though? Probably not if we're early enough, I suppose.

Just answered my own question didn't I? Yes.

How about June 27th? If not put forward some dates. I'm very flexible so long as I get enough notice to put in a holiday request.

This sounds like a good plan. Unfortunately I have already booked all my holidays for the year so won't be able to attend any week day ride outs!
