Nice pics Jen.
I really wanted to make it out on Sunday too...alas the cold weather was discouraging and the snugness of my bed won hands down.
Ah well, next time.
Good on you guys, you are a brave bunch.

There will be another Econamy run probably run by the Social Secretary next year.
Good job to FLYNVW and Mrs FLYN for running a great day. Top job to the chef as well. (Forgot his name but he cooked a mean snag).
Look out in Club chat for the next economy run next year. Will post when a dates been settled.
