Fantastic day had by all except Eddy. Morning grey skies cleared by early afternoon delivering great flying. Accuracy won by Angus, highest flight won by Gordon. Northumbrians took Cumbria by storm parading our standards for all to admire. Commiseration to all who were'nt here.

Not the north east but the real north! That's where me and wend are heading on Saturday night. We are off to tinto and then spending the following 5 days travelling around Scotland. We will be packing the paragliders hoping to fly Tinto on sunday as it may be a light northerly if the forecast holds....

Sorry Ronnie have to agree with Dave, as the 1st reference to club comp was posted in The Pub and it was for Sunday not bank hol Monday. I would expect to look for further comp news to be posted in the pub or at least a reference to it, to say The comp was on and to look in comp section for further ...

Is anyone else having problems with uploading flights on the xc league or is it just me?

Chin up Ron I'm sure you will do it eventually so soldier on and do us proud next year

Col n wend

Sorry about colin and myself not attending the meeting this month as we were just returning from our trip to France as mentioned at the last meeting. Along with Bill, Andrew, Dave Hume and Steve Gill who are still over there, who I'm sure would be sending their apologise if they had internet access....

Congratulations on the arrival of your lovely baby girl xxx

I also think the venue is worth keeping for the moment as it is the best room we've ever had.
Although thursday not the best night for me as I work late, but I'll just work something around it to get there but not the march meeting as we'll be off snow boarding in Italy

Please put me and colin on the list to join in with the team comp. Hope we get some flying weather soon as I'm running out of Knitting paterns. thanks.

well to be honest January always tends to have a bad turnout anyway, that coupled with the fact we have all this bad weather and road conditions it may be sensible just to cancel.

waiting for your executive decision Gary

The Akenside is on Dean street, same as the resturant, not as far to walk in the cold but i'm easy. See you at around 8pm where-ever we'll ring you.

Is anyone meeting up for a drink before the meal somewhere. If so where?
Any suggestions, somewhere big as it'll be busy (not the crown pasada).

col and I will be up for it prefer sat night if poss

First of all a big thank you to Neil and Ali G for their auctioneering skills tonight.
