Discussion Weekend 2015

[Carol Shaw]

Just to let you all know the bookings are already coming in thick and fast for the final weekend in Grantown and we fully expect it to be a sell out again. If you need lift access to your room, want to stay extra nights or really want to be in the Grant Arms rather than the Garth get your booking in soon
