Due to the covid19 bug going around this year, 2020, most of the world has been on lockdown. Many places have been closed and events cancelled. The National MOD this year has been postponed until next year when hopefully things might get back to some form of normality. Thanks go to Alex Dugdale for editing this lovely video to remember the good days. |
