*EVENT NOTICE*
If you are attending today’s talk at 11.00am please be aware there is currently a pump truck partially blocking the entrance road to the Tower.
It is passable for you to make your way to the car park if you are driving to us.
Hopefully it will be gone before your arrival but we thought it best to warn everyone in case it hasn’t!
Apologies in advance, we were not aware that it would be there today.
We look forward to welcoming you later!
