Thursday 1st October 2020
Good afternoon all,
Amber and I are in the process of putting together a timetable of events for the month of October 2020.
We shall also be providing future updates in slightly different formats, separating our regular and online activities from
the special events that we are planning.
For the foreseeable future, Dragon Hall will follow the rule of six, focusing on sessions with small numbers, providing a safe space for people to come together, share their stories and make new friends and connections.
