An excellent day, much enjoyed by SWMBO, Fern and me. Many many thanks to Nigel and family for all their hard work. Also to all other participants who made it work.

Rocket launching, crap quality but no doubt Tom will be along with some proper footage soon

I remember that launch...Team Tron really loaded up with water and the rocket went a "massive" 7 metres. The launch cradle took a bit of collateral damage on that one as well. Too much weight at the front end.

Can I say a huge thanks to all those who turned up for the revamped VA.

The style of this years event worked so well and it was far more relaxing for Jayne and myself regarding the scoring and we took on board the comments from last years event about making it more social...and I think we acheived that in spades.

The challenges worked really well dispite the visible disappointment from RM when the first envelope was opened and it was shopping list. Sorry Paul! ;)

The two massive successes as far as we are concerned were the "Time Trial" and the "Rocket Launching." Mind you Bandits first launch was a tad scary. It nearly took out the bride and groom!!!!!!! ;D

I'll post up the stats when I get a moment and Tom's already working on vids and photos.
