    Hello Deep Friends

    I love the schedule. Can we ensure there is no overlap between the yoga and the dancing please. That or make them removed from one another please to uphold the sanctity of each. Will go to Afrika Burns on Wed or thurs and will not return to Cape Town in between. If anyone needs a lift, great. Ash, obviously I will arrive early to help set up. What can I bring from CT? Stretch tent? I will have roll of shade cloth with me. I will have to know before Wed so I can arrange and take with.

    Huge hug
