Thanks to you know what , there hasn ’ t been an OWPG Big Weekend get together since 2019 . At the time of writing this there is just over a month until the start of the 2021 gathering . There has been a bumper number of bookings , so it promises to be a very special weekend indeed . I ’ m looking forward to the chance to catch up with everyone and to meet members who ’ ve joined recently .
