Power Fun Fly 2008
 21st/22nd June

Well, we had a fun fly...
which is a little luckier than some other events that have not gone ahead at all this weekend.

Friday evening was gorgeous, we had a great fly off the peg and barbeque.
Saturday was cold and the weather switched between rain and drizzle until after lunch.
The rain stopped, and we had a good afternoons flying and a good number of enquiries about membership which is always good. Topped off with a barbie in the evening as the wind picked up.
Overnight saw gazebo frames (without fabric) blowing away, and campers hanging on to tents from the inside...

By Sun morning it was clear that we needed to cancel the day because of the high wind.At least all canvas was dry and we spent the morning "rescuing" tents and marquees etc that were all threatening to make their own way home..

Oh well, we can all start again in a month.. maybe the weather gods will be a little kinder?

We ended up with 4 Newspaper articles about this event and another about the YT - see below

Here are the first few pics...
