  • #RobInAKilt

    Rob Pickstone is very proud of being half Scottish. Last year, during some drunken tweeting he admitted he had never worn a kilt, but would do so for PlymTwest. It’s great to see such dedication from one of last year’s lead organisers – and we were quick to pick up on the offer... Donate Now

    #RobInAKilt
    If you’re on Twitter and live in Plymouth you’ve probably come across Chris Penberthy. He’s our lead organiser this year, and also runs the Devon Social Media Cafe.
