Hi Everyone,

I hope that you and yours are keeping both fit and well during these most distressing of times. Quite clearly, during the period of 'lock-down', there is very little to report regarding HFT at Horsham. It is indeed strange to see the familiar websites with no posts on them. Like so many of you, I am missing the sport and I am missing my friends.

For us at Horsham, the situation will mean that our Summer Open series will be in jeopardy. Other clubs will, no doubt, be similarly affected. For me, I am presently entirely housebound, being one of the 1.5 million who have been confined to my home for at least 12 weeks due to being 'at severe risk if I were to catch the virus'. Nevertheless, there are plenty of people far worse off than me and I remain grateful for what I have.

I just wanted to reach out to all the great people I know out there. I do hope you are all 'holding up'; and I hope to see you again soon. Meanwhile, take care of yourselves, stay safe and try to keep smiling.

Very best wishes,

Phil
