years ago, like before 2020 there was a group but it was in Hoi An and it didn't have high numbers of particpants. I believe the group is now dead, not like not-alive but that nobody partcipates in it anymore. We went and ran with them one time and we were all the people there, nobody local even turned up and I think the girl that was organizing it was getting frustrated about the lack of local support.
