The Europa Club stand at the rally was well attended throughout, with 64 members signing the attendance register and enjoying chatting to others over coffee and cake. The newly refurbished/ resurrected G-XSDJ was on the stand and provoked a lot of interest. It is of course quite old now but the beautiful seamless join done by Nev Eyres grafting on a new section of fuselage, central tunnel and firewall was admired together with the new all glass/all Garmin G3X/G5 panel and the Beringer wheel and brake.
Three committee members managed to judge all the Europa aircraft present at midday on Saturday and G-ILLZ, the really superb trigear of Rod Palmer was chosen as the winner of the LAA cup for the best Europa. Many congratulations to him and his partner Gill. Other planes in the last five short list were G-IPOD, OO-145, G-RJWX and G-YETI.
Alasdair Milne, Club Secretary for the last 6 years was awarded the Cliff and Betty Shaw Trophy at the Rally. This was richly deserved for all the very considerable amount of work he has put into keeping the club running.
Irene Watson our indefatigable social secretary managed to charm multiple exhibitors into donating fine prizes for the Raffle at the Club Dinner due to be held at the Charlecote Pheasant near Wellesbourne Mountford on 23 September. Notable amongst these is a beautiful shiny new PLB. If you need any extra incentive to come to the dinner, this unmissable raffle is surely it! It is not too late. Details on the club website.
Happy landings, David Joyce, G-XSDJ
