 December/Christmas  2011 Fly In:

Well the weather was kind for the second month in a row! Our December/Christmas breakie fly in was another great success.

Forty three aircraft attended and seventy breakfasts enjoyed for the last fly in of 2011. After a record fifty six aircraft and eighty three breakfasts last month we are recovering somewhat from the bad weather that has plagued us of late.

As you would all appreciate a large amount of work is done by some very dedicated people (not of whom the least is our President Pat) to bring about these events. 

Pat wishes to especially thank all for the help they have given the club throughout the year and to our faithful members and friends. She wishes everyone the best for 2012.

Please enjoy the photos of the smiling participants in this Newsletter of this fly in and check out the gallery for more of Dan Wilson’s great photos.

See you all on the 21^st January.  Fly Safe. Ken Cox
