<--The AGM was held 3 Dec - the committee remains the same for 2015. Steve Thom (left) received his trophy for the IC fun-fly from Dave Harbour.

Sadly Jeff Barringer could not make it to pick up the Rookie trophy and Adrian Baseley and Andy Whiting, winners of the electric fun-fly and open electric glider comps respectively, were not present at the meeting to collect their trophies.
