When people write the title of their fly-ins, please can they add a date too? It makes it so much easier to look down the list to see what's on that particular weekend, rather than having to open them all.

Wednesday 9th April to Saturday 12th April. Hopefully, the weather will be a little more conducive to flying down again (unlike this year). The usual hotel booked in Meersburg.

Anyone else flying down ?
