Mark and all,

What were the differences between the early session on Sunday and the
one at the end of the day? Was the second session better or more or
less similar as the first one?

I agree that on sunday the conditions in the hall were a lot worse
than Saturday. Perhaps due to the strong wind and rain outside? We
havebeen using this hall for probably more than 15 years or so but I
don't think we have had bad conditions similar to the ones we had on
Sunday.

Despite all this it was nice to see you and Bob do the flights with
the VP and seeing one of your flights on sunday inches from the floor
before VP kicked in I understand the rollercoaster ride feeling!

Regards,
Roel
