DEMO DAY

Evening All!!

A big thank you to everyone who came along on Saturday to see Kay demo the Hougie Board - what a brilliant piece of equipment it is.  Sorry I couldn't be there in person - I was at a wedding watching my daughter be bridesmaid but by all accounts you all enjoyed yourself and lots of you went away clutching your own Hougie!!
