What on earth is happening in December?
See, December is a weird one, it always is.
Normal rules don’t apply and we are giving ourselves full mirthful licence to go entirely off script for a bit.
The new year will bring new rigour but for now we are letting it all go. All the slots for all our activities are entirely full, so for now we have suspended all sign ups - just come along and join in with whatever you like and be prepared for a bit of bustle!
