IIRC (remembering the March discussion, not ten years back), mid June
was when we got in touch with each other and July 18 was the date of
the first message sent out by a list actually called Conlang.

I would like it if our celebrations could find some way of commemorating,
honouring and thanking our List Owners of past and present, John Ross,
Lars and David.

I can definitely make weekends in London (and probably July 18 but couldn't
