The 2011 Big Day Out will be held on Saturday 17th September in Arbroath St Andrew’s and the Old & Abbey churches, which are within easy walking distance of each other. There is ample parking in the vicinity of both churches.
A ticket for the day will cost £5 for an adult with children free. The ticket will include tea, coffee and juice throughout the day.
Delegates are asked to register on arrival at St Andrew’s church where the opening worship will take place.
Each Angus congregation has been asked to provide a display of the work that they are doing so that the innovative work across the area can be shared. There will also be a trade exhibition with materials available from
- the CLC Bookshop, Dundee
- Holy Socks
- Alpha Scotland
- The Scottish Storytelling Centre
- Wild Goose Resource Group
- Mission and Discipleship Council
- Church in Society Council
