Tentative schedule for Bree Moot 5–it is likely that events will be moved from one time slot to another, there are several events which are still tentative and not listed here–I expect that the program will be filled up with pretty continuous program of some sort except for the meal breaks. At least one or two of these programs may have to be cancelled for one reason or another–some possible substitute programs are listed at the end. If you’d like to see a program that isn’t here, let me know–likewise, if the schedule is not working for you–we’re small enough that maybe I can reschedule for you! Let me know.
