Great stuff. Is it free? Are there chairs for senior women and men?
Hi Gillian. It is free. We will have a stall in the marketplace and may have one spare chair, but we cannot guarantee a seat. The idea is that people come up and speak to us and our special guests at the stall. It isn’t a formal sit down talk/presentation. You will have a chance for a one to one with us and our guests. I hope this helps.
