Mark,
What is the age rollover?
Gwen is in hospital again, another rubbish bank holiday. Looking dodgy for her attendance so I will probably bring another grandson. Will decide on Friday morning.

Really sorry to hear about Gwen. I hope she recovers soon.

I think it's under 15 (children) at Treak, so we could probably go with that for all venues.

Another point to note for anyone bringing small children:

Biggin Hall are happy to accommodate any children in our party and provide alternative food. However they do not have any high-chairs for small children. Anyone bringing small children will need to bring their own high-chairs or booster seats.

Possibly/probably I think he said with Jordan to Treak Cavern, depending on Gwens possible discharge.

All good wishes from us to Gwen, fingers crossed for you all.
