The FOPS at Chorleywood Village Day 2023 photographThe FOPS had a stand at the Chorleywood Village Day. Being 4 hours long, this is much smaller than the two day Rickmansworth River Festival we did a couple of months back, but we still spoke with many people about prostate awareness, and some new members joined.
