Once you have booked an event, if you need to cancel or change anything, please let Gill know via WhatsApp. If you get a thumbs up to your message, it means I have seen it.

For all events that state “please book your own ticket”, you need to RSVP to the event on the website as well as booking your own ticket so Gill knows you are going. This helps arrange car shares and ensure the outing can start on time.

Events for 2025 are being put on the website as they are booked. Some may be popular and will sell out due to limited number of places available, so keep an eye on the website. As the saying goes, if you snooze, you lose!
