Starting time 10:30 AM. and should be finished around 2:30, we will be running 4 rounds, so there will be lost's of racing for everyone.
Could the Temac guys get back to me as I would like to know the number of guy's who can attend.

Some of the fast guys are all getting old and the thumbs don't work too well, you and the other Temac guys are just young bucks, so anything can happen!!!
See you at Orangeville

Temac boys,

Shall we meet again at the Country Style Donuts per the last 2 years?  Hiway 9 west of 400 at Weston Road.  North-east corner.  I will be there at 8:15 am for a cup of Java.  The last 2 years we left at 8:45 am. in a convoy for Orangeville.  Follow Mikey.  ;D

Roll call!

Hey fast man Mike,

re: "Fastest man at Temac reporting in!

You complain too much!  ;) How can "the fastest man" always get there just in time for us to leave.  Guys like Glenn, Graham and I have spent 45 minutes there by the time you get there and we don't complain.  In fact, we are just plain happy to have escaped the house and are are savouring our new found freedom.

May speed be with you.... starting Monday! ;D

Just got home from Orangeville from the EF 1 race.  The TEMAC crew that showed up (Simon H., Greg H., Mike H., Glenn, FvB) had a great time.  Ken and the boys were kind enough to let some of us beat some of them.  Very gracious.  The races were fast and furious.  Everyone had four races and then the TEMAC boys settled all their issues with a separate race at the end.
Ken will post the results.

Thanks to everyone who participated and especially Greg H. who damaged two of his airplanes (repairable) so he could be the official event photographer.  :D Hope he posts some photos soon.

To pinch a phrase, Greg H definitely wins the "Spirit of TEMAC" award.

Fabulous day.

And bizarre too - I left home with 3 planes and came home with 4!

A loaves and fishes trick in our hobby!  I love it. :D

Of course Greg came with two airplanes and left with pieces. ;D  That's the spirit!
