Best time, well no where near exams, and not to close to freshers fair either, as need to see if anyone is wanting to play, and if they are any good. Will chat to some folk, and get back to ya, but February, or is that to cold? Or maybe at the end of year after exams, but then risk is people have gone home.
What these 2 options u on about, after exams/course work i will look into this more. But for now need to forget about pb, and do some work.
