…and I only went out for a box of matches. Recently a fellow Elamite, because of the disappointment of the annual Folembray trip being cancelled, planned a trip short 4 day trip to Wales. Although I was very keen, the dates clashed with work commitments, so I had to decline […]
So, who would’ve thought that we’d have been officially told we couldn’t go out Observing for at at least 3 months – well certainly not me nor any of my colleague Observers either. The IAM were very quick to tell all affiliated groups that because of social distancing and being […]
