Hi all,
On behalf of Chris Martin and the organising team, I am pleased to reveal the Aspire Merlin Rocket National Championships social programme.
As you can imagine it’s been difficult to pin down socials this year as the Scottish Government have only just confirmed the end of Lockdown, but we’re pretty much ready for take-off… Drum roll, please…
