Important update
event postponed until early next year
Announcement 11/12/19: Laura has made the difficult decision to postpone this event due to low numbers of registrations. It’s such a busy time of year for everyone, and the fires to our north are a part of that. The event will go ahead early next year! More information here as it becomes available.
