Oh dear, another day when we hoped to get a slot but weren't lucky. We scrubbed around lunchtime, and Alan C - our airspace man for the week - arranged a little treat for us with some friends of his! Just after 1pm we had our very own Shenington fly past of the Reds, in formation and with smoke!!
After that some people went out, the director had a nap, while Paul & Lucy prepared for the evening's entertainment - their famous quiz. I went for a walk round the local footpaths to get some fresh air - there were some amazing vistas of poppies, which seemed quite appropriate on the Centenary of the start of the Battle of the Somme.
Pam & Emilia (with a bit of help from Lech!) prepared Bigos and cheesecake for our Polish supper, and served a large number of people as the competitors came back for the quiz.
Amazingly we ended up with 77 people in the clubhouse, in teams of 4 or 5 (meant to be 4!), answering a series of interesting questions. We discovered that none of us (even in groups) could come anywhere near passing the British Citizenship test, which is slightly worrying. Once again Paul managed to 'question bomb' Lucy into saying something embarrassing (to her) so that she achieved the colour of the pink wall. Works every year. Just ask her about alligators....!!!!
