Emsworth Virtual Show.
A

has
been
set
up
for
the
virtual
2020
show
and
when
it
is
available,
I'll
send
you
an
email
to
let
you
know.
The
Schedule
can
be
found
there
and
full
instructions
for

Events
It
looks
unlikely
that
we
will
be
able
to
run
any
events
this
autumn.
The
Community
Centre
may
not
open
until
October
and
when
it
does
there
will
be
restrictions
which
will
make
talks
and
other
social
events
untenable.

the

you
up-to-date
