I just checked out the trailer for this DVD Product, Which featured cracking footage taken during that weekend’s steam gala, I do enjoyably like the theme music included at both start and end of said DVD Programme.
I do hope this’ll help to expert fund/fundraise the KWVR’s appeal to help combat/fight back this dreary pandemic period.
Good Luck to the KWVR ocne again on said appeal and this DVD Programme too.
