OK, so we’re a few weeks into the madness now and I, along with you all, I’m sure, want it to end. Yes, the Bikeshed show has been cancelled. Big shame for them and us, as we were exhibiting there too, but not to worry, as there’s light at the end of the tunnel now and we’ve got plenty to be getting on with.As for Alchemy Parts and the products we’re selling, it’s still business as usual.
