 Yeah, it's no problem.

 Saturday, people use for shopping...that's why I suggested it...

 Perhaps. Only I *know* I won't be able to make it in every week. So
depending on me to start it is a bad idea. The thing is, most people
won't know they'll be there until that afternoon. If it was a standing
order, people would be more likely to head in for an hour or so.
