Tail End.
Here we are again, pacing up and down the garden for another season. More so at our club Wellingborough, as we have changed direction. At least we got off to a great start, with such lovely weather. It look's good for next weekend too. So get the deckchairs handy, and a cold beer-to keep the nerves at bay!
Well guys and gals, until next week, keep well and safe.
