Weekend of 25th/26th April. PFS study trip to Dover. This will extend to Friday and Monday with “optional extras”. We can’t confirm all of the details yet but this is the draft schedule:
The per person cost for Friday and Monday is not likely to exceed £10 for each day and the cost for Saturday and Sunday should be less than £40 (which will include the BBQ and some donations). No money is needed now but we need an idea of numbers so please register - see recent Newsletter for details. Numbers will be limited and if you register an interest now you will be on the “first come first served list”.
