Please book by Thursday 4 June , emailing Collen Fraser [email protected] or via the online Booking Form .
We would find it helpful if people could indicate what workshops they would be interested in booking. It would be particularly helpful if you could indicate whether you are interested in the afternoon accompanied walk so that we can allocate you to other workshops in the morning.
(We are expecting all the workshops, except the Using the Nature App one, to be repeated in the afternoon as an alternative to the walk).
Our Workshops, to be held from 12 noon.
Most of them can be repeated in the afternoon for those who would rather go to a workshop than do the walk.
