APRIL FOOL - THERE IS NO CHEESE ROLLING FESTIVAL IN EDMONTON TODAY!!

Come and join the EOC at the inaugrual cheese rolling festival at Gallacher Hill in Edmonton!

Cheese rolling was first made famous by the good people of Coopers Hill near Gloucester in England, with their world famous event - see the links below (just so you know I'm not making this up!):

We will meet at 3:00pm by the top of Gallacher Hill. Any brave EOC'ers who are able and willing can take part in the actual event, and the rest of us with more common sense can just watch the ensuing silliness!

After the event, there is (funnily enough) a cheese and wine festival. Once that's over, if anyone is interested we could pop in past the hospital to see how our fallen colleagues are getting on.

Required Items to Bring:
Scruffy clothes if you are participating (you may fall over....)
Money for the cheese and wine afterwards
Crutches or stretcher

Recommended Items to Bring:
Use our Event Checklists to make sure you have everything you need.
Binoculars so you can follow the action close up
Camera

Event Directions:

Gallacher Hill is located between Connors Hill and 98 Avenue.
