In this episode of Hogan’s Alley, Terry is joined by Helen Temby and they talk to the world’s most prolific Crokinole author – Michel Cloutier.
They discuss Michel’s books which he was inspired to write after rediscovering the Greatest Game on Earth, touch on some plans for International Crokinole Day, and generally enjoy each other’s company. If you love Michel’s books, or are considering picking up a copy (or two), then you’ll want to tune in.
And yes, Terry did forget who is usual co-host is a the start of the episode... Let's call is a senior moment... but words will be had! Honestly not sure he should be in charge of anything. Wouldn’t trust him to run a bath.
