Got a case of the Monday blues? Maybe your team lost at the weekend? Well we've got a treat for you!

We're excited to invite you to our final PITCH workshop in our series of 6 across the UK.

We've been in London, we've been in the South West, we're going up North (there's still some tickets for Liverpool, link in bio!) and for the final few mins of the game we're heading South East to !

Join us on the 9th of March for a morning workshop, where we'll be in the amazing q***r owned community space alongside who sponsored our gorgeous shiny blue kits you might have seen if you caught PITCH in the summer.

We think this will be a really fun one to round up celebrating and sharing q***r stories and heritage across the UK, if you're in Margate or the wider Kent area, we hope to see you there.

We've SOLD OUT all our tickets to our workshop in less than 24 hours- so we've added a few extra, but once they're gone, they're gone!

We've set up a waitlist too for the workshop, so if over the next week you realise you are unable to make it, you can pass your spot on to someone else.

We're so excited, thanks for snapping them up so quickly, we can't wait to meet you all.
