The weather was set fair, the BBQ was good, plus beer and soft drinks provided by the club. Thanks to Ron and Stan for cooking and preparing the food. Also thanks to one of our newer members who worked very hard repairing the topper on the rear of the Tractor. The wind was a slight problem, adding some turbulance at times. There was a reasonable turn out of members who actually flew planes.

Content was down on last year, having said that, bidding on most items was good. See the pics of the various items of interest. Jenny cooked 2 Sponges, one to eat and the other to raffle which fetched a bid of £5.00. Guess who had the Lions share of the cake?.Ron and Chris acted as auctioneers, with Pete keeping tabs on the money. Once again, a very successful evening. Wed, 28 Oct 2009 09:33:15 +0100
