We could use more volunteers as quite a few would still be in Florida, so who's up for this? Everyone and anyone welcomed! Loaner bikes and mallets provided.
There is a rock climbing session at 10 am and free running session at 11.
There will also be a speaker/short film screening event at the Portobello Pop-Up later in the day. Bit more details as below:
