Ignore the “3 Aug 2016” date in the top left corner; this event is on the 3rd of SEPTEMBER!
Hi Brad. Thanks for your comment, but the 3 August date at the top left refers to when the post was published on our website. As you can see in the post itself, we have published the event date as Saturday 3 September 2016. Cheers, Amy.
