On the 15th
September 2001 the Annual Flyin and Barbeque took place. Since the first
event back in 1986 this annual event has been held on the site during the
month of September. This years event despite the strong winds was very
well supported and thanks must go to all who made the special effort to
attend.
Here are a few photos of the event.
