Disaster, EMF. We are unable to attend the EMF this weekend. On the journey this morning to the event some lovely driver nearly drove us off the road resulting in a torn front tyre and some other damage to the wheel. Thanks to the AA and a garage Jake and myself have made it home (slowly). The car can be looked at later in the week, yes I am out of pocket but at least we are not injured. This means I have had to let the organisers down as we can not attend and those people who planned to come and see us. Not the best result but as I say no one Hurt. Best wishes to everyone at the EMF, Regards, John

ARM MARKET NOTICE!
Due to either lost emails or lack of communication it looks like I will not be trading as usual in Novembers ARM market. I was considering expanding the trading space again but no replies to any of my emails. Obviously I cannot just wait in a situation of uncertainty, so over the next few coming weeks I will be releasing some of the arrow stock I have accumulated for this market to be sold from this page. I will of course still be trading at Bosworth, the EMF and other events. To my customers who I meet up with usually at the ARM markets thank you for your understanding and support. Let’s see what happens in March. Keep shooting John. 🏹🏹
