But often Saturdays are quieter in public parks etc. So makes sense to hold the event on the Saturday. Dartmoor Discovery, local to me is on a Saturday as the roads over the moors are quieter than on a Sunday when folks go for a drive Sunday lunch etc. Can't help re the soft flasks, don't have any. Sterilising tablets, or soak in water, touch of washing up liquid and a small amount of bleach perhaps.

To be honest I put both in dishwasher occasionally (after another friend said they did with no ill-effects) freezer storage is a good one I freeze with just a tiny bit of air in and remove day before needed or on morning if I have time.

I also use beer brewing steriliser to clean them, or soak in dilute bleach... Top tip, don't leave dilute coke in them for a few weeks, it's not good!
