Out and about
Creeping Toad public
events April - June 2015

| come on out! enjoy the spring! |
Most Toad workshops are in
schools and for groups which are not really open to general public
participation, but I do a lot of public events and some training courses which
eager visitors are (often) welcome
to join
Public events: a wide range of activities here - listed below with
themes, times and any restrictions as to what is going on. In general, if you
need more information contact me or the organisers, for bookings where needed,
contact the organiser. Where I can, I'll put links to the relevant organisation
Training courses: these are cheerful skills-based days aimed at
teachers, environmental educators, playworkers and anyone working with groups.
Again, for more information contact me or the organisers, for bookings or
payment contact the organisers
This list will change month
by month and I'll try to keep it updated as information and plans reach me
