I’m just listing what the event is and where (note that some are at Penhale, not ‘our’ Towans). Anyone wanting to join in needs to email me in advance to get full details and to book a place or contact 07854 123 877.

As most of you know, for insurance reasons, groups must not exceed 15 people, so it is essential that you contact me in advance to book a place.
