There’s no accounting for taste.. but below is a list of things that caught my eye, just in case you were all wondering what to buy me for Xmas!!
VVC Shop Manager, Richard Vickery, has been very proactive since taking on his new role and recently shifted 60 or so 2020 VVC calendars to members - check out the latest club shop offerings here.
