Its been a while since a report, we've been tweaking the blog and going through last years reports, and uploading them - we did an awful lot last year, probably fair to say quantity over quality which is expected for a first year into any new hobby. Take a look, we are trying to do something a bit different with a "mission report" style, the vids are all available on the youtube channel too, all accessible from our facebook site... anyhows here goes...
