It has come to our attention that the ISO file one one of the machines being used to burn our CDs at the Wakefield Show became corrupted at some point during the day.

If you have any problems with a CD bought from us at Wakefield, please send us an email describing what your problems are, the names of the file(s) that are causing you trouble and your postal address.

We will send out a replacement CD free of charge. Please accept our apologies on this matter.
