Safety Info:
----------------
* Your safety is your own responsibility primarily. Acro is risky so please manage your own risk!
* This is NOT a class. While many of us are happy and willing to share skills and give a little intro to beginners/newbies, it is really best if you aim to attend some classes beforehand to teach you the fundamentals/basics. You can check the "Discussion" tab of the event for info
* If you're bringing u18s, please make sure you're happy to supervise them and that you're happy to be responsible for them.
* Likewise if you're bringing dogs (or other pets), ensure that they will not cause problems for others - or just leave them home.
* This is an outdoor jam on a grass so mats/padding are limited to what the group brings. Bring your own and remember: You are your primary spotter.
* Please make use of spotters, there are always plenty and we're happy to help!
* COVID Tests/Masks are not compulsory and are at your own discretion. Please don't come if you're feeling unwell.
* If you have food allergies, please let the group know.
* If you do not wish to be tagged in photos/in photos at all, please let us know! Photos/Recording is to be expected and are shared in the group after. If you're shy/uncomfortable asking people not to take them, ask Kwame or another Organiser to handle for you
