Reminder 🦐

Please get booked up. This a really serious opportunity to get an idea off the ground, or shape other ideas. It would be great to have as many people in the conversation as possible.

In case you need even more tempting - Alice is doing the catering 🍰

A really great chance to have a session on the beach with marine biologist, Karen.

Have you got any concerns about local marine conservation? Do you have an idea of something that could be done locally? Project ideas could be practical, artistic, cultural - anything really as long as the end goal is marine conservation and awareness. This is a really unique opportunity to see your idea become a reality.

Please do come along even if you don't have an idea. Your input into the discussion will be valued, and you might even come up with something on the walk!

Please RSPV if you would like to be catered for - [email protected] / 01856 821229
