UKRA2000, Friday 2nd

Darren and Shaun were there from mid-day and helped set up, and bagged some space in the marquee. Mike, Pete & Angela arrived in time for the only flying session of the day. It rained a lot on Friday. Anyone who recovered a rocket from the crops ended up soaked from the waist down.

Wilfred was lost until Sunday, and was rather worse for wear, having absorvbed a good deal of rain. He probably won't fly again but some of the component parts will.

After the flying session we hit the bar, and started a tab. Darren managed to get his internet fix by conecting into a phone point in the kitchen of the bar, and makeing a post about UKRA2000 on uk.tech.rocketry. After the bar shut, Darren, Shaun & Mike stayed up until the early hours discussing the pressing issues of the day with Mike Williams acting UKRA Chair. They discussed such weighty matters as "Are Quest kits crap or what?" and "shall we have another drink?"

On to Saturday.

Thanks to Adrian Hurt for some of the pics.
