hello David ,is thatt the same club grounds that they made a video of a few yrs ago ?,is there going to be a video of this one ,looked like they had fun doing the work in the older dvd ,bruce oz

Bruce,
Yes its the same location as last year, this time we worked on the other half of the course.
The film crew were in attendance again and they will be releasing another DVD later in the year.
Attendance was down on last year, although the recent spell of wet weather may have put people off from coming, 50% of the proceeds are being donated to the local air ambulance charity.
Regards, David

Hello David, it looks like fun, thanks for sharing, is the Link Club still producing a magazine regularly, John Gaunt kindly sent me 4 different copies of your old version a few years ago before Chapter 2 were de-registered and I thought it excellent, so good in fact I forwarded them on to about 10 different Cat. collectors here in Australia over the last few years and they are currently in the steely grip of a fella in Hobart right now, and repeated phone calls to get them back have so far proven unsuccessful, so I assume he really likes them!!
regards
Mike

Mike,
Yes, our Editor Paul Tofield still produces the magazine 4 times a year (Spring, Summer, Autumn & Winter). Send me a PM if you would like any further info.
