*  the weather forecast isnt that great – bring warm clothes (for the day, evening and night-time)
*  a brief summery of our agenda is shown below (subject to last minute changes due to weather, tides and and a group vote!)
please remember that you are not obliged to take part in anything that you dont want to, we are all there to enjoy ourselves 🙂
