Hi all,

A reminder that we will be participating in our annual Ready Steady Cook competition tomorrow. It all kicks off at the Den at 11am and we’ll be rustling up some top notch grub…..

we plan to be finished between 2pm and 3pm depending on how well our blazing fires are going! There is a chance of rain and it will be cold so wear warm clothes.

See you all tomorrow.
