We have quite a buzz around this coming Saturday’s session, 9th Feb. Really great to see, thanks all.
We didn’t set up a booking system this time, so if you can indicate on our Facebook page if you’re planning to attend that will give us an idea of numbers and we will flex the running order if it looks like we’re going to be short of kit.
We look forward to seeing you.
