I’m not local but I know the area to a degree, plenty of local bloggers though. If there is anything I can help with then let me know. I know its a long way off but I’m already getting excited!
I live in Northern Ireland at the moment, but don’t know if I will be in May so my challenge is knowing when to book transport!
Agenda sounds great, look forward to find out who’s leading each session!
