4 pm SMS UK Regional Scavenger Hunt 

Hosted by Nick and Salli, we will be going round the UK for our scavenger hunt ideas that you should be able to find in your own home and garden. Keep your picnic box handy to pop the items in. Could this be some (Brighton) “Rock”, or a “flower” (from Chelsea), or something “Red” (Leicester cheese)? We will find out as the Hunts get started.

9 pm SMS Chill Out Whine with Wine at Nine 

Finish off the weekend with a glass of wine and a chat with Ann Smith and others who just get what Smith-Magenis syndrome is about. We might not be at our conference hotel this year, but that should not stop us meeting in our virtual bar or garden pub.
