Accomodation

We'll be staying at Oatridge Residential from the 5th of August for one whole week. 

This is the address:
SRUC Oatridge Campus, Ecclesmachan Rd, Uphall, Broxburn EH52 6NH

This is out of town so involves traveling in and back daily. It's around 40 minutes by car. 
This was the must appropriate we could find within budget and to ensure that we are all together as a group.

On the Saturday the 3rd of June we will have an initial performance at.3.30pm to an invited only audience. This will be filmed for future reference.
