This year I thought I’d run the information on this event through this site. Here’s organiser Kim Hedwall’s prospectus.
WELCOME to the 14th Annual SWEDISH GROUNDHOP
FRIDAY JUNE 5th to SUNDAY JUNE 7th 2020
Since 2007 we’ve been seeking out the undiscovered gems of the Swedish game. After three successful hops in southern Sweden,
We’re back in the Stockholm area this year and visit the interesting and beautiful grounds in and around the capital of Sweden!
This time there is 5 (hopefully 6) Swedish games to enjoy and also plenty of time to sight see and socialise!
As ever the itinerary and fixtures are subject to change.
