Evening Food

We were thinking about cooking some stuff in the evenings. 5:40 cooking ready for 6-6:30.

  • Sam and Becky (Friday) - Curry and rice or chips (Sam & Becky). Likely to contain coconut and peanut unless anyone objects. Won't be too spicy.

Tents and Stuff

  • We'll have a number of people to cover stewarding the start of sessions
  • Our tent is donated for the weekend from Ian 3x6M and we'll put it next to Workshop 1.
    • Snackspace will be at one end facing the road. Donations via. the website or prices for cash (or SumUp if we have someone there).
    • Gareth will put his projector in the tent facing outwards to a more nothern installation

Workshop Planning
