I've always wanted to do a flight from Little Snoring to Sleap, just to have the two places juxtaposed in my log book. Probably won't now.

I've been going to aerobatic comps at Sleap as a ground 'observer' for the past 25 years and in my view it's one of the loveliest venues on the competition calendar. There was always a very warm welcome from the locals, the Burlton Inn is a wonderful place to stay, otherwise Wem, a quirky town whose main claim to fame is that it was the birthplace of Peter Jones, of the 'Rag Trade' and the voice of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy'.

I do hope the committee resolve their differences. These things always seem to happen. I was once told that a committee should always have an odd number of members and that three is too many...
