SAM   84 (THE VINTAGENTS) CHAMPS.  - 

Held at Dalby 9^TH., 10^TH. & 11^TH. June  2007.

 The weekend started badly – Saturday was overcast, the Windsock was horizontal, and it was CHILLY. However, the locals at Dalby M.A.C., who once again kindly hosted our champs., promised Sunday would be flyable, and so it was!. Monday was one of those magic still air mornings we dream about, and all competitions were successfully completed, albeit some had to be shortened. And the results are as follows:-

Congratulations to the winners, and thanks go to Evelyn Blades and Jim McCotter for assistance in compiling score sheets. Most importantly, our heartfelt thanks to the Dalby Club for hosting the weekend – their hospitality is now legendary, and very much appreciated, and hopefully, we will all be able to meet again next year on the new field. Greatly missed this year were two Vintagent stalwarts, Colin Somers and Barry Dent, who have both gone to the big field in the sky since last year. I’m sure they were up there applauding our efforts!
