This is another day of clashing priorities. CWJ day/Luca's birthday barbie and what looks like being a great display at Abingdon. Still there is always Clunes' video to look forward to.

Good to see you again, Cluny. You're very welcome to the model - look forward to seeing some piccies of it in due course. I admire your patience...

Yep - excellent day out at Abingdon. Steady trade on the VTTS Club stand and a good few raffle tickets sold, so very worthwhile.

Frankie was great, but for me the highlight was the final Hurricane pass. Wonder what height he should have been at...?!

Abingdon seems well established as the season opener now, which is great for them.
