1-3PM: TRANSPORT On The Beach
Location: TBA


Join Shane and Danne Diamond on the beach for a casual, low-stakes game of T4T volleyball starting at 1pm. No experience necessary, fun attitudes a must. We'll also have a collection of beach and yard games if that's more your speed, and feel free to bring your own.


EVERYONE WELCOME.

Lets have fun and play without the confines of gender.
