adly, the season is already heading towards its end, yet it seems to have only got into its stride a couple of months ago. Three events of particular note to members are, firstly the LAA Rally, on 3/4/5 at Sywell, in case the mag arrives on time – the Post Office have been struggling a bit I think.

For those unable to fly on that day, the following Sunday, the 31st, serves as an alternative. See page 50 for further details.
