Overall
another great day out, with a good turnout. It only cost £15 per person instead
of the usual £55 charge for a power plot!
Afterwards
there was a drive onto the local bowling centre for a few drinks (soft of
course!) in the glorious sunshine of sunny Huddersfield!
Many thanks
to Well Lane Turbo Centre for their hospitality and organisation on the day.
See you next
year!
