What are Gig Buddies Events?

Gig Buddies group events are hosted by the GB team so that all signed-up participants and volunteers in the Gig Buddies project can catch up and do fun stuff in a group setting. 

All group events are run as "not-for-profit" and participants only pay for a group event to help cover the cost of admission tickets, venue hire and/or catering.

The main focus of the Gig Buddies project is to "buddy-up" participants and volunteers so they can catch up and go to their own events together.

What: Picnic Dinner at Brighton-Le-Sands Beach

Please note: This social event is WEATHER-DEPENDENT. We should have lovely summer weather, but we will keep a close eye on the forecast closer to the day.

Where: Brighton-Le-Sands Beach (meeting outside Bay Vista on The Grand Parade road - see map below)

Tell me about the gig: Join us for a lovely evening hanging out and eating by the bay.
