Geoff flew the hangie and then it was time for Luke and Chris&#8217; big BBQ in aid of the Air Ambulance Service. It was too windy for the marquee, so vans were placed like in a circle like a wagon train, which gave a little protection. Late on a few really keen ones flew PGs, but it was still a tad on the windy side for me.<\/p>\n<p>Lots of people came to the party and in the run-up to the day, they managed to raise \u00a31190 for the cause. This was supplemented with \u00a3580 in raffle ticket sales. We didn&#8217;t win a thing (we never do!) but Dave Jackson-Hobbs cleaned up, winning three lots including the top prize.<\/p>\n<p>After that, lots of booze, food, silliness and dancing into the small hours. Thanks to Luke, Chris and Joyce &#8211; great event!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.judithmole.net\/photo_galls\/050909\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">See photos of today.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Windy, but dry.
