Our driveway has been leveled and covered with gravel.

A major improvement; thanks to the efforts of Clair Murray.

No one has registered yet.

I'm still willing to help you fly your jey; or you can see mine fly to get an idea as to what to expect, performance wise.

Just curious, why is a Fun Fly limited? Competitions I can see but I thought Fun Flys were come one come all? I guess the real question is if I drive up from Niagara will I be shut out from participating if the 40 number has already been reached. I won't know till that week if I can come or not.

The funfly is limited only because of limited safe parking area.

So far, there is plenty of space available.

Next week should be no problem.
