Thanks to all who have taken part. Through out the morning over 35 members turned up to help and all was completed by midday, with field cut and edges strimmed, weeding and general cleanup of site, the huts and windows have been  cleaned. A new fence panel erected between huts and all benches have been retreated and those that showed damage have been repaired with new planks. The roadway has been given a make over and the area between huts made up with soil ready for reseeding with grass. All enjoyed a well earned BBQ afterwards and watched some splendid flying from our Saturday pilots.

Report of event to Follow

The BAN on Turbo Jet and Petrol engine aircraft has now been removed.

Thanks to our Landlords for allowing us to return to normal ASAP.

The recent visit by HRH The Duke of Gloucester after Warboys was named Cambridgeshire Village of the Year three times in the past 10 years at the national Calor Village of the Year competition, resulted in John Carpenter being asked to display his Lancaster in the parish church under the commemorative stained glass window to the Pathfinders. Robert Neilson accompanied John as chairman of the club, we also had past club chairman Steve  Kessel present in his role of chairman of the parish council. HRH The Duke of Gloucester showed great interest in the model and below are some of the pictures of the occasion.

Craig Cundey has Just started Flying lessons at Connington and has sent in a few  photos also work on the renovation of a  Spitfire down in Devon he has been helping with. see photo`s.

The club was invited once again to attend Ramsey Church Fete which we were happy to accept, the afternoon although poorly attended when measured by previous years  ended in us raising £60 to church funds from the chuck glider game. It is also worth mentioning the memory of John Stokes which more than once came about in conversation.

Thanks goes to Phil who brought along his aircraft for display and to those who made up the gliders, especially Mike Luscombe skills of building the “Rolls Royce” of Gliders.
