Covid Economics

Sadly the current Economic Climate has taken a huge hit on our little magazine and we are forced to close.

All current digital subscriptions have been backdated for a full year and we will continue to host for the rest of this month, however after that our digital hosting platform will be forced to close.

Fleas
