All welcome.

I’ll be at Milkhope tomorrow for half twelve and will leave the gate open. If anyone is heading up for a bike ride in the afternoon please let me know. I’ll be taking the charcoal.

I'm in favour of having a monthly social evening and I think the best place would be in the function room at the Corner House. However, the focus of meetings over many years has been a tedious and largely pointless agenda which has served little useful prepose. I'm obviously not the only person that ...

Yes Gordon, I'm up for doing more of the NCT tasks, i'll be in touch, or give me a nudge.

Happy days.

Pepper and stilton mushrooms, turkey, no pudding.

If you’re anything like me you will find these dark nights and short days a bit depressing but, lookin on the bright side the Winter League starts today. This is for the 6 best flights between now and the end of March next year. Three turnpoint flights, scored on the NHPC XC League.

Of special interest to anyone attending the NHPC bbq 8/9/2018 at Milkhope, the exclusive “Headmasters Study” sleeps two or three at a push. For sale in the club auction, Wednesday night. Starting bid £20.00.
