Happy New Year Everyone!
Let’s hope 2021 can get us somewhere back to “normal”, but in the meantime we just need to keep connecting with one another to help keep our sanity. In that vein the way we “Togs” do that is by making photos and sharing them with one another and so it’s great that some members have already sent their images through or KF1 and CharlesHosken. For those that haven’t I enclose the details again below. Once piece of good news is that the entry fee this year is to be waived so you can enter the CH for FREE !
