We will be ordering pizza suitable for vegetarian members for dinner, however we suggest that those who have other dietary requirements bring their own food, to be completely safe.
All attendees are asked to bring suitable lunch items to share, such as sandwiches, mini-quiches and salads. You will be contacted about this closer to the date, so we ensure a spread of dishes for our feast!

We will need a few helpers to coordinate lunch dishes, purchase drinks and snacks and help run the activities of the day, such as games and brain teasers
