Thanks for the hints Chris and Eejit, will no doubt ask more nearer to the time.
I know it's somewhat a moving target, but do you have any idea of the range of weather conditions? Just to give the group a vague idea. I was saying waterproof jackets/trousers/boots will be essential but have said they probably won't need thermal base layers. (obviously will need insulation layers etc but not the full long john set up)
Honestly early April could be anywhere from full winter conditions to 10-15+ºC, bring waterproofs and a sturdy pair of shoes just in case it's wet. Metcheck's long range forecast can be a good(ish) indicator, but it's often changeable in the mountains.
