You are welcome to bring birthday cake and party bags.
What do we do if the weather is bad?
Sessions and parties will always go ahead no matter what the weather unless there are winds over 32mph. in which case we would have to cancel (or our insurance will be void). Our tarp canopies keep us dry around the campfire when we are eating and for very adverse conditions we will assess on the morning.
