This is worth every minute you'll want to spend reading it. The report on this year's oily hand weekend, courtesy of Mike Minty. Some fantastic stuff - vintage models, vintage (and not so vintage) modellers, building, fixing, flying, crashing and the putter of diesels in the background. Lovely.

Starting to build a club archive - see this LINK

If you have photos and stories that could be added, please hang on to them for a short while. When the new site is launched (Q4 2014), there will be plenty of room to accomodate a growing archive.

Well, it was a brilliant day last Sunday, for those that came to the electric fun fly and the one-make racing/combat events. Unfortunately with only 4 in one event and 3 in the other (in most cases, the same people), Dave has to be asking himself why he'd bother putting hours into preparing events, rules, scoresheets, streamers, limbo poles, trophies etc. 

Anyway, the competitors and the spectators loved it. Mike Minty has produced a report, with photos, which you can download to read by clicking HERE.
