STOP PRESS.... STOP PRESS....
14th March 2020
Due to the concerns about the virulent Coronavirus
(Covid-19) issue, it has been deemed prudent to cancel our weekly meetings at Cockshutt for the immediate future to protect our club members and their families, and the general public.
Updates for when the club will next meet will be published here when known.
1st June 2020
We have reluctantly decided to cancel this years annual weekend show over the 8th & 9th August 2020 due to ongoing concerns with the Covid-19 issue. Our apologies to everyone but we would rather everyone stay safe.
Should things vastly improve later in the year we may try to put on a smaller show but have no hard plans as yet.
We will be planning for next years annual show and new dates will be announced shortly.
Stay safe everyone!
