No young members, but we have had another 3 members join our club this year. We now have 18 flying members in our club. It’s a shame when no one wants the secretary job or the club gets too small. I have been secretary in 2 different clubs. It is far easier now than it used to be with modern technology. Used to take hours on a Sunday filling out results and sending them off to feds and combines. Having to then post them first thing Monday morning. Now it’s just the push of a button on Saturday night. Job done.

It’s a shame that Leon left the site Devo.
