It's probably best for it to be on the core days right? The main event
(20th birthday) is Saturday, so that leaves Friday or Sunday.

There will be events on both those nights too so but we've not
finalized what they are yet. We hope that the Friday events will be a
good way for people who've not been to the conference before to get to
know each other, so perhaps Sunday is better for the womens' dinner to
avoid anyone missing out on things on the Friday.

The social events are being planned here:
https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/2017/SocialEvents/

After looking at Plans A - D on that page, I propose the following: 

Friday: 
- Plan A: games and picnic in the park

Saturday: 
- 20th Bday Party

Sunday: 
- Plan B: football game and dinner (could plan football directly after GUADEC closes, then dinner around 20:00. The women's dinner would be an option at that time)

AND

- Plan D: pub/drinks at night (could start around 22:00)

 I know there were issues booking venues though. Could you please add any information about issues we're hitting into the wiki page? Maybe we can help brainstorm alternatives.

There will be a notice board by the reception desk so putting up
posters there would work. If we know about the events in advance we
can also announce them during the opening and/or closing talks.

Could we have a whiteboard or large poster with all of the social events in one place so that groups don't have to make their own posters? 


Best,
