Teas, instant coffee and milk will be available and Riverside Cafe will be open for those needing a real caffeine fix. SEED SWAP - please bring any surplus seeds, seedlings or plants to share Many of the sessions will be open space (as there are often many options and not enough time) so if you have some passion you would like to share please bring what you need to demonstrate, share, pass-on, teach and learn with. We will have a projector, wipeboards, markers and big paper. Musical instruments and noise makers, movies and fun tuff to play with… Programme: We welcome suggestions of what you would like to see included in the weekend and offers for presentations or discussions.
