Would you just confirm if it really is every other Sunday? I believe it to be 2nd Sunday in the month as I turned up for 24/11 and only when looking on The Hive Refill station’s own events calendar did I realise they would next come 8 /12. Maybe that was a one-off though. Would be good to get the message out.

Liz: Confirm it’s every other Sunday, i.e. once a fortnight. However 24/11 was cancelled at the last minute when we realised that because of another booking the hall car park would be full, making it impossible to park the Hive Trailer. We did email all the people on the Sustainable Harwell mailing list (https://sustainable-harwell.uk/join-sustainable-harwell/) and I think the Hive used Facebook to tell people. Would welcome suggestions for how better to get the word out. They are at the hall next on Dec 8.

Hello Liz
I am very sorry, we did advertise we would open at home in East Hendred.
We will be starting a email newsletter with event dates from January, meanwhile we are upto date on our Facebook page – @bzbwraps
And I can confirm we will be there this Sunday which is 8th Dec from 630-8pm
And then the last one this year is 22nd Dec same time and then back on 5th Jan.
Between the hall being booked out and our main tow vehicle breaking down it’s been one of those few weeks!
You can always email us on – bzbeewraps@gmail.com for upto date info
Many thanks
