‘nother year gone….

Dear all,

As we all know, planes are not the only things that fly. Just when I was getting used to this 2011 stuff, ‘they’ insist it’s time to change again!

Today was as good as any other day to update the goblins that keep all the web-bits churning. I am delighted to see that young Richard has added all you eager clubmembers as contributing editors. So, please do not hesitate to tell your story to the world!

As always, when I upgrade stuff, there’s always a good chance there’s one mor bug, I just never know where it hides until someone stumbles upon it.

If you spot it, do let me know! (adminATthiswebsite.org.uk)

And before we run out of 2011, let me wish al of you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Newyear!

Kees Blokland.

Last of the evening flying on the mountain

As Autumn/Winter is here, John and Richard spent the last of the light evenings on the slope.

Horizon Hobbies Indoor ,Come Fly Event

Hello All,

With just over a week to go until the Horizon Hobby UK “Come & Fly” evening I thought I’d drop you all a mail to firstly remind you about the night and secondly to let you know a little of what’s planned!!

I have received the product for the evening, let me tell you there is some great stuff! We have also received a number of other raffle prizes from Horizon Hobby which include a DX8, Blade 450 3D, Phoenix Flight Sim, the all new Spitfire BNF & lots lots more! A big thanks to Horizon Hobby for sponsoring the event, this event is totally unique and the first of it’s kind in the UK, nowhere else will you get the chance to sample such an array of products.

Come along for a good nights craic and to support the great work that Epilepsy Action do, every penny raised in our raffle goes to this charity, a very worthy cause.

The time to remember is 7pm at Lisburn Lesiureplex (beside the Omniplex Cinema) next Friday night (4th November), really looking forward to seeing you all there.
