What's happening over the two days?
On the Friday evening, you will work with the group towards developing a vision. (Time 19.00 to 21.30)
On Saturday morning, you will develop this further, and work on how to achieve the vision, and what principles should be adopted to guide development on the site.
(Time 10.00 to 13.00) The day will end with a light lunch where all participants can swap experiences.
Do I have to attend both the Friday and Saturday?
