Dear All,
  The current schedule, which apparently is only one week old
and may yet change again, has FORS2 in service on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and
5th of June. After this, there are two technical nights on the 16th and 17th of June,
which may be converted into service. After this, service restarts on the 1st of July.

   We have a few hours left on FORS2 (I need to check the exact number) for
spectroscopy and 7 hours on FORS2 for imaging. A time swap is not
necessary and would require a formal change request. We have written a couple of
these and I do not think we should try to do another one unless it is absolutely
essential.

Cheers, Chris.
