It’s ten years since we held our last Folder Forum show, and great fun we had too.We’re unlikely to hold any more Forum shows, but we hope to see you all at the 2009 Brompton World Championships in early October.The event started out in 2006 as an annual race, but is developing into something much more
interesting - a celebration of Brompton Culture in all its forms. So if that interests you (and, of course, it
might not) do get along to Blenheim Palace and enjoy the day! We’re looking forward to meeting
subscribers old and new.
