Hey Guys...

Nice to meet the people, spouses and kids behind the names and have a small dop with you.
What a lekker weekend. I will encourage The "Clowns" from the "Circus" to be there in force next year

What a fantastic bunch.

Promise the Cheetah will fly more next year too and not just act as a scout for the retrun journey.....!

See you guys next year

Many many thanks to Michelle and Rob for the hard work on what is largely a thankless job (^^)

Nice seeing everyone again, and thanks to the Rieties for their support and help at Belfast (^^) (^^)

Till next time

The GT race had us taking off at 1 minute intervals, over the bridge and back, about 11 miles.

Very breezy and thermal, was just trying to stay straight and level, full taps at 90 mile an hour. Don't realise your speed untill you see the guys blasting past downwind on the return leg. GReat fun.

The rookie down-down is normally looked foreward to,those cute multi-coloured condensed milk thingies, but this time it had the cowboys crying for their mamas. That 80% Stroll rum surely needs a special permit. :oops: Evaporates all the air out your lungs and makes grown men cry. (**)

Saw a previously toughie down the tripple, clutch a chair, contort his face and squeeze out "This is gonna Fu%k up my stomach op" and recuperated with a cellphone for 45 minutes.

Anyway, that absolved everyone of any further responsibility, was followed by barrel rolls, fireworks display and general fan endurance all in said pub till 2 in the morning. :shock:
