please see the website. On the day, at the table will be instructions to any complete
newcomers on how to get involved. It will be all in good fun and for a laugh! So please
drop by and give it a go. This will happen at some stage depending on interest. |
| There will also be a young man demonstrating his own TFs game there, and as he would
like views and opinions on this, to get it recognised, please drop by and take a look or
join in. It would be nice to see some fan support FOR fellow fan projects. |
