Hi Craig,
I've updated the dynamic countdown to reflect the rescheduling.
Feel free to make further changes if and when necessary: just replace
the day/time in the template parameters at the end of the template that
generates the participation message (Participate_text). The
sub-templates will react accordingly without the need of further
intervention.
Merry Xmas,
Lorenzo
