Abingdon Exhibition 2020 - CANCELLED :-(

[FraserClarke]

Regrettably, we have made the decision to CANCEL ABRAIL 2020 due to public health and specific volunteer concerns.  

Whilst this will be disappointing to many visitors, exhibitors, and members of the club, the committee feel that on balance and considering our specific circumstances, it is the right thing to do.
