I came across it on a different facebook page, Warwick, and have asked for info about the time of the meeting. Might make a difference for those of us who live around 70km away!

It varies from region to region, and you should check with the local fire brigade. Round here (Sitia) fires are normally banned from the end of April until the end of October.
