Please note that the providers/venues shown above are examples only; other options may be available.
When you send in your ideas it would be helpful if you could refer us to a website for any provider you may have in mind (but don’t worry if you don’t know of any, we still want to receive your suggestions).
Also, we have had a lot of new members since we started two years ago so it may be time to repeat some of our earlier adventures. Feel free to suggest those too.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Miggie
