LATEST NEWS:-

M.A. Open Show - Baginton Village, Coventry - Sunday 12th September 2010
Entries close 19th August (postal);  26th August (on-line) 

Schedules for this show have now been posted to all members who requested them and are
also available on-line from www.fossedata.co.uk   
The revised date (moved from 19th September) was published in the May 2010 edition of our newsletter but the reason was omitted by the editor !   We had been informed earlier in the year that the proposed visit of His Holiness The Pope to Coventry Airport on the date originally booked for our show would result in that area, including the village of Baginton, being closed for security reasons so we had no option other than to move our show date.
