Topband: Stew dates - before Christmas, please!

[Greg - ZL3IX]

Unfortunately holding the event before the holiday period means that I 
will not be able to take part, because it happens mainly on Sunday night 
in the ZL time zone, and I have to work the Monday. Until I retire I 
will only be able to take part when it's held during the holiday period.
