Friday after this

0I want to say I would like to hold a meeting on the Friday after this Friday but do not know what the natural sentences are.02br
02br
00Here's my take:02br
02br
00Let's have a meeting on 01u00Friday next week.02u02br
02br
00Let's have a meeting (on) 01u00next week's Friday02u00.02br
02br
00Let's have a meeting (on) 01u00next Friday.02u02br
02br
00Let's have a meeting on 01u00Friday after this (Friday)02u02br
02br
00Parentheses mean the word is optional or better still obmitted.02br
02br
00Thanks in advance0-

0Actually that's my least favorable one because the grammar book says it means the coming Friday which is not what I want, though I believe it could mean the Friday after this.0-

0The easiest way to eliminate ambiguity is to mention the date -- "Let's have a meeting on Friday the 27th." Other posibilites:02br
02br
00"a week from Friday"02br
02br
00"Friday 01b00of02b00 next week"02br
02br
00"Friday01b00, 02b00next week" (with a comma)02br
