Well, it won't be as fat as if it was the Badminton issue, but we certainly haven't just pulled the Badminton pages and replaced them with nothing, don't worry!
Hi everyone,
Many thanks for the suggestion.
We don't actually have empty pages to fill in H&H this week. Because Badminton was cancelled well in advance, we are able to change the number of pages in the issue which would have contained the Badminton report (10th May) and save some pages...
