*FRESHER WEEKEND ANNOUNCEMENT*

Hi everyone, sorry for the last minute update! We have been working hard behind the scenes to get our freshers weekend organised for this weekend!!

Unfortunately due to current restrictions we have decided not to make the weekend an overnight stay like we usually do. Instead we will be running a day event on the Saturday (16th) more locally so people should be able to commute to and from Aberdeen. The content of the weekend will remain the same, only difference is you’ll be able to go home and sleep in your own bed instead of camping in a cold, wet field (so it’s not all that bad).

We are still finalising the plans just now so more info regarding sign ups, location, times and pricing coming very soon!

Keep an eye out on your emails and facebook, and we’ll hopefully see you all this weekend!

Lots of love,
WEMS x
