Primrose Valley 2002

The week started with an informal get together on Saturday night where a lot of old friends and some new ones met for a drink and a chat.  It is always so nice to see many friendly faces with the same interest.  Sunday dawned and Mother Nature had not been very kind to us, as it was raining and by the attendance of the pilot's morning's briefing it looked like some had stayed in bed.  MAA Chairman, Max Bradley, welcomed everybody, PRO, Caroline Scoles, explained what was in store for the week's events and each CFI gave a briefing on their discipline.  The first part of the week the weather was unsettled, but flying still took place.  By mid-week the weather had settled down and come Friday everyone had done some great flying.  Alan Head from SAS models spent a few days with us, as did Steve Watkin from Protech models.

The evening's entertainment started on Sunday evening with a Quiz and indoor flying which seems to be getting more and more popular every year.  Monday saw Traplet Publications take the stage, Tuesday the instructors held a forum, Wednesday there was a Treasure Hunt and another chance to do some indoor flying, Thursday the Protech Team gave us an insight into their range of products and Friday we had the traditional raffle and Max presented the Trophies.

Everyone said their goodbyes with promises to see them either at Devon, or next year.
