Since Sunday, we've already paid out £1200 to a man in hospital with heart problems.  He hasn't worked for a while and things were tight.  Hopefully we've relieved him and his family of pressure for a while.  Last thing a heart patient needs is stress from debt.

There were over 200 people at the top of the fan and we had fly overs from 3 aircraft, all owned by ex AB, one of whom is a member.

Here's a pic of Nick the Chairman and the club 'snake' behind.  I've added the minutes f the AGM.  If you can't open them let me know and i'll send  an email.
