We held the annual Paper Aeroplane competition on 15th January at the BGGC.
11 members attended and 10 took part in the competition.
We had 2, man on man, heats recording the best out of 3 throws, attempting to stay in the air longest. We then totalled the 2 heats.
3 members each had 2 wins so we ran a 3 man final over 5 throws.
The finalists were Mike Brinkworth, Tim Cooper and Terry (sorry didn't write down your surname).
Terry came 3rd, Tim was 2nd and the winner was Mike Brinkworth.
Our Chairman Guy McKenzie presented Mike with the trophy.(see photo

The Pylon race was again postponed
