We missed Derrel’s company at Waratah, owing to a mishap with the car door, pleased to see no permanent damage & we’ve got him back in the fold.
Thankyou to all that participated.
Our thank-you to Chudleigh Show committee for their wonderful hospitality, all going well we will see you next year. A great day was had by all.
Instead of returning home we ventured on to stay with brother Bill & his wife at Beauty Point, ready for next day at Georgetown Wings & Things event. After a few ring arounds & asking there were no takers, so we pulled the pin & came home to Wynyard.
Owing to poor communication between our club & Exeter show committee we are not invited this year as there was no ground allotted for our space. Next year if we get in touch before Dec.
