This was a fun job and will be an amazing book 🙂 A trip down memory lane... one Saturday, I was sent to rugby, the big news story of the day, maybe a crowd of 20+ in the grandstand. Off my own bat I headed out to Thunderpark - hundreds!!

Orders for my Thunderpark book are going great, thank you.

Also tee shirts and mugs are selling very well too.
