It was the 4th August 2016. I’d just finished my tea and was sitting merrily scrolling through the latest facebook nonsense, expecting to find nothing but maybe mild amusement.

It's not all about big tournaments and fancy stadiums! The Old Sods Subbuteo Club enjoyed their first meet for 252 days in May 2021. That’s right, 252 days! The pandemic has taken its toll on us all in one way or another, with a few members unable to attend due to shielding, others unable to travel long distances and some no longer able to play.
