Recovery day
Assuming the weather plays ball, we are planning to park up by the lake from about 11:30 am on 4 January. The tenantive plan is to set up at Kelvin Grove beach at the end of Kelvin Heights and we’d love for you to join us.
Feel free to drop by for as long or as little as you’d like.
We will keep an eye on the forecast closer to the time and circulate a back up plan if it looks like we might need one.
