Isn't that a bit odd? Those dates weren't even an option in the date poll.

I will drop a line to JRatz

This was the email I sent out requesting that we get put on the calendar:
Hello:
There are seven confirmed who have picked March 2018 as their preferred date for the "Powered by Merlin" group build and one more picking another date for a total of eight committed. Will you add this build to the 2018 calendar?
Chuck Finley
I asked about the change to the date and will update once I get more information

Completely my fault, I'm not sure what I was looking at when I posted the calendar.
I think the "clone" key got me.
Fixing it right now.

- GB: Powered by Merlin; Mar (24 Feb - 1 Apr); GBL: Chuck Finley; anything, air-land-sea, powered by a Merlin or derivative thereof.
It still looks wrong compared to the poll date above

"Chuck" asked for March and I put in the usual start-Saturday / end-Sunday spread; if he really meant the range shown 1 Mar - 18 Apr, or any variation thereof, we can fix it up easily.

Now corrected to 3 March through 15 April, per the GBL.

3 March is the first Saturday in the month and 15 April is the closest Sunday to 13 April. This should be close enough for government work.

Works for me! I've got the last week of this GB off from school so I'll have extra time to build. Looking forward to it!

It's getting close to the start date of March 3, 2018. I'm leading this with a Canadair "Noiseystar" Merlin conversion of a DC-4. Who's with me?
