Sorry for the short notice, this decision was not easy.

Find somewhere quiet....

Before going out on a soarable day... sharpen up at your local field with some good ground handling practise... it will help to stop getting dragged into the sunset ! (flex)

John Wallis, I decide not to mention anything to Mr Telford about what Steve has done. I am staying well out of it. I am very happy with the agreement I have with the land owner.
