First Year Open Days/Schemes - A list?

Good morning all,

Having seen the great work that has been done on compiling the Winter Vacation Scheme list, I was wondering: Is there a First Year Open Day/Scheme equivalent? If not, I do not mind starting one. I have a list from some previous research that I had drawn up but it lacks the opening dates as it would seem that none have been announced yet.

I just wanted to check one had not been created already!

Thanks

    Nope as far as I'm aware we don't have one. It would be fantastic if you could create one!
