Programme

It's too early to give a detailed programme for our August 2016 event yet, but here's the general idea.

Friday

Hugh dressed for a freeform

Please note that the cost of the Friday fringe events are not included in your ticket. Unlike previous years we have not organised a formal sit down meal this year - prioritising playing games and informal chatting instead.

16:00 Very optional early arrivals meet & greet at Harry Cook Free House, 23-26 Montpellier Walk, GL50 1SD map

20:00 Optional, Card games, boardgames and socializing in the bar of the Holiday Inn Express, 33 Dunalley Street, GL50 4AP map

Please follow hashtag #gt16uk on Twitter to check the exact time that we leave the pub to head to the hotel bar.
