They're all lovely comments, thanks for building up a picture of the flavour of SP7, not a lot to do then...
Apart from:
re-iterate and pass on thanks to
the full Syncronauts Comittee, who couldn't all be with us at SP7 but who've worked and contributed over the last few years to make Syncropendence do-able with the minimum of fuss, and organise other meets that have different flavours, but come together and work.
Special thanks of course to Doug, Kev and Jenny, the current Vice Chair, Secretary and Treasurer respectively.
There's also those non committee members who helped enormously by just being involved this time, to name a few: Julia, MattFlint, Glen, Pete & Sharron (made the equipment & succesfully masterminded the German trial) and so many others...
Thanks also to all those who gave some driver induction, help, encouragement, or offered driving or passengering seats to those who for whatever reason were without their own drive.
.. to all the children, who were great and seemed to get into the spirit of the meet. They seemed to be enjoying all the site has to offer.
... to all the first timers, who made the commitment to get there, some from quite a distance.
.... to the beautiful horse that galloped (thundered) past our tent early Tuesday morning and which gave an almighty '
neigh' a minute later, which without a shadow of doubt meant...
'Oh What a lovely morning! and Wow! What a lovely field of scrumptious grass'.
Looks like Mark and Aidan (1 & 2 this year) will be setting next year's German trial so that Sharon & Pete can actually take part!
Also, I'm hearing noises about extending the scope of the PUnCH trial, Roger came up with the idea, and with Doug's help setting it all out, certainly made the 1st one a great success
.. so yes, of course, we shall be aiming to improve SP next year, but it will always be influenced by the Welsh weather, which despite its best efforts, hasn't totally extinguished an SP campfire yet.
That was SP2007 that was, and Mark's Charlie with the umbrella over the fire...
This year, the weather was really good, the Sunday
drizzle-on-the-wind tested us slightly but I didn't notice many heading back until the trial was fully over and a winner declared (Dai deserves special mention in despatches for helping the PCS)
Later, as has happened before, the Sunday evening weather was a delight, a few went back up to explore some new areas and chill out with a free-driving session. Visibility at times over the weekend was 30 miles or more, the deep greens of the fields and forests belying their lack of Spring rainfall.
