Bonkers for conkers

SRF communication matters

We used the game of conkers to make a great story for Hovertravel. It was on the Isle of Wight that the first use of horse chestnuts was recorded in 1848, so both hovercraft and conkers were invented on the Island. We also used conkers for a seasonal image for the Meteor meet and greet [...]
