[Rivet] Rivet dev/BSM workshop scheduling poll

[Andy Buckley]

Hi everyone,

 From the poll and from talking to the staff at Lunga House it seems the 
best slot is Mon-Thurs 26-29 September (arriving >~ midday on Monday to 
allow for travel.) Apologies to the couple of poll participants who 
couldn't do those dates: there was no perfect option.

If there are no urgent objections (and I can't imagine what those might 
be, but always good to double-check) I will firmly book those dates in 
the next couple of days. See you in Scotland -- get crossing your 
fingers for glorious weather ;-)

Andy
