... turns up at the New Year's day fly-in with no kites and only a line so that he can fly someone else's kite?

Burrrrr…….I was asked today when the ‘Freezeyourbitsoff’ at Sumners Ponds was going to take place. Not the best day to ask me, Les was roasting chestnuts on his Cadac for members on the Dyke and I was filling my trouser pockets to keep my bits warm! Contemplating having to stay out overnight if an event was planned was a non starter, keep it on ice till later on? Today’s fly in ran a close second to Brenzett last year, at least it was dry today. Very little wind meant only the brave flew in freezing temperatures, had the wind blown the chill factor would have put a prompter end to our New Years Day event.
A good few of us up there and it was nice to see friends again, a certain ‘Freezeyourbitsoff’ veteran was the first to run home to Burgess Hill early, long before I arrived at 12.30. Outside catering provided by Les kept us all on the Dyke for a little longer than we would have, so thanks for the Chestnuts, Pancakes and hot Sarsaparilla Les, and Paul for the loan of woolly hat and Sue for Christmas cake. One by one everyone drifted away to somewhere warm, no doubt, as did I at 3pm.
Sitting at home now I am thinking ‘it wasn't that cold’ …..OH YES IT WAS!!
PS. Answer to your question Jelv, was it Bonefish, he is such a sponger….I never saw him though? [/color]

In spite of what Collin said, there was quite a bit of flying done (a lot before he arrived).
