Great page just to let you know you have a small date error in the blurb, it is sat 16 th nov, not sat 17 th. I’m sure people will figure it out, but it might confuse a few. Can’t wait for that weekend!
Hi Helen,
Thanks heaps for letting me know about this. It appears it was correct in the event box and calendar, but there was a mention of the old date in the intro.
Anyway, thanks again and have a great time!
Cheers
Michael
