There were only limited numbers in the Clubhouse for the advertised 9:15 briefing, and with the wind forecast looking challenging (to say the least,) and with so few members it was decided to scrub the day.
The day was therefore spent with members, doing jobs around the airfield, Dave Perriam starting work on the grass-cutting tractor, Bumblebee was given a wash down, Vicki was cooking cakes and making sandwiches ready for next week (going on holiday). Caravan owners were seen cutting grass and working/cleaning on the caravans, ahead of the summer. It was lovely to see Ruth Comer up to visit the club for lunch and a chat.

I also went around, anyone I could find to contribute/bet on the Grand National race later in the day, on top of all the people that had contacted me personally to make a purchase.
At 4pm, there was a group of us in the clubhouse ready to cheer on our relevant stead’s.
