How to make it work with huts that just aren't set up for families with practical examples and advice e.g. the TSG

Limitations children have and practical solutions to them
Learning from past family weekends and showcasing our good examples
The second part will be an open forum for questions and discussions, as well as an opportunity to network and get involved
