Day 2 – Sunday 3rd December (optional)
There is no formal activity planned for the Sunday and depends on the mood of the masses (few intrepid souls). Previously we have operated from the Long Mynd and the Brown Clee (the highest point in Shropshire). At this time of year a lot will depend on the weather.
There is no scheduled activity planned for that day, so please indicate if you have a band of interest that you wish to air so that reciprocal stations can be organised if possible.
The venue will also be available at no additional cost for continued construction, fault finding and further chat while finishing the last of the biscuits and mince pies.
Tea and coffee will be available, but no food is being served, pub lunch anyone…?
