This is a great idea... how about making it the closest Saturday in advance of the equinoxes?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equinox
This would be March 15th in 2025 (which we already have the GSIAD on), and September 20th 2025.
A Summer Solstice thing already happens... the Dunwich Dynamo.

With the prospect of the forum disappearing and a reminder of the importance of social gatherings (RIP aram) and how much it meant to catch up with long lost forum bods at Aram’s remembrance drinks.
I’d like to propose twice yearly gatherings (locations tbc) one at the beginning of the summer (or whenever the weather is good enough to ride bikes in shorts, and drink outside), and one at the end of summer (or just before the weather turns too cold and the knees get covered)
Compass drinks and the people I met and drank with at all of them formed the major part of my social circle for the last decade and more and I’m glad many of them are now close friends. And it feels fitting that we should honour those drunken moments, by creating new ones and raise a glass to those who’ve passed at the same time.
Thoughts on locations, rides we could do to and from, and general thoughts are welcome.
