Club Barbeque - Sunday June 3rd 2007

Well, what a marvellous day everyone had.  Lots of club members, a few guests as well and of course lots of helicopters too!  Many thanks to the Privett family who once again did a great job of organising a successful event and especially to Angela who provided food for everyone!  There was also a raffle with a series of prizes which went down very well. 

We were very lucky with the weather which had been looking rather poor a few days beforehand but which eventually turned out perfectly.

Jamie and Bob Privett organised the fun competitions.  The first of these was a 40-second flight in which the only requirement was to take off and land 40 seconds later.  This was won by visiting 3D Masters competitor Trevor Burley with a time of 41 seconds - not bad when you consider you weren't allowed a stopwatch!  Next came the auto spot competition and no one was surprised when this was won by autorotation specialist Andy Morley who landed only a few inches off target!

All in all a great, crash-free day!

And now for some pictures from the day
