The Reunion and Annual General Meeting of The Folk Camps Society Limited took place on Saturday 17th November 2018 in Toddington.
The Reunion is an all day event, see programme below. It is a chance to meet up with friends you met at Folk Camp this year, or those you missed this year but want to see again.
