Friends work sessions

Unread postby Wayne Hoskin » Sat Jun 20, 2015 8:46 pm

A bit of a long reach question, but are the Friends work sessions always planned around the same weeks of the year? I ask as I am planning my next trip to US in hopefully 2016 but probably 2017 and I wish to partake of a couple of sessions, that is do one, tour around for a while and come back for a second.
So if the sessions are always planned for the 1st and 4th weeks of July or August (as examples) I can start doing some trip planning.
Thanks for any help.

Yes, Wayne. They're always very close to the previous years.

If you call the office and chat with Gwen she may have the 2016 dates.
