Can you simply turn up to this or do you need to sign up somewhere? I understand that entry is free,but just wondered if it was a turn up and walk in on the day kind of thing, or if you needed to have your name down in advance. It looks like a great event, and just the sort of thing that would really help relatively inexperienced aquascapers like myself 🙂
 
Sounds like a great event. I'd definitely like to come along.
What are the timings for the day? I couldn't find that info. Thanks!
