Float Sales and Building for 2020

There will be no group float events, including float workdays, until after June 9, unless State guidance changes.

However, you may order floats and we will arrange to get them to you in June using all appropriate precautions. So order soon, because we are building floats at home alone and it goes slower than usual. See float order form.  For questions, contact Vic (vicspain@rocketmail.com).
