Thank You!

A huge thanks to all of the competitors, volunteer staff and all at Four Counties for a very successful ISRGC 2012. Only one day where there was no flying (but a very cool thunderstorm to watch instead!). Hundreds of launches and lots of km flown. Gallons of tea, coffee and beer drunk and I think that we are all definitely sated when it comes to eating pork after the pig last night and the various forms of pork sandwich at lunchtime and pork salad this evening.

Next year the RNGSA take on the hosting duties. Good luck and see you all next year!
