You are looking at the overall picture, I am looking from a personal viewpoint and have never managed to get to ALL of her booked appearances!

So for me its less than 50/50!


Maths lessons my arse! :p

I have some figures since 2008 to present day, which I will post on here AFTER the weekend. They make interesting reading ;).

Pleased you spotted that HH :) . There's been loads of rumours circulating that it may be the last so that's good news.
I know of a couple of others going from vtsc but that's all. No club/trust stand will be there. Weather looks iffy - low pressure coming in ~x( .

Barrys latest blog gives a good insight into the problems the weather caused for Cosby and Portrush

Thanks for the PMs - pleased you enjoyed.

This is another Blog from Barry that I found interesting...re the fuel tank issue. Again it explains what it was like inside the cockpit and why things can't be done the way many think it can/should be.
