vetch field memories

by nigel davies

It’s a very different Vetch Field Memories in this issue – mainly due to the fact that my iPad crashed and I lost all my research on the game I was going to cover without any time to replace it🤦🏻‍♂️ But never fear, it gives me the opportunity to do something a little different and very special, with some nostalgic images and a Swing Style Swans Song  supplementing our awesome Vetch Field artwork as drawn by the ink-credible Ian Simmons, the ATFV Graphical Guru…
