I shall be around on the main site (which lies between the Canal Museum and its car park) most of the day on Friday.

Otherwise, if I am not around for some reason, just ask at the Museum. I propose making the Conference Room available, which has tables and chairs that can be arranged to suit, or else the Schoolroom can be used, which will be shared with a full-sized boat cabin mock-up and a large dummy boat horse. The horse is very well-behaved and does not kick.
