As there is no public transport on Christmas Day, Stuart will act as a point of contact for those who would like to come who do not have their own transport. If anyone is able to offer lifts please let him know. For clarity, they cannot guarantee availability of transport for you but will help co-ordinate journeys where it is possible.
