First Annual Dinner for Pilots

The Gisborne Pilots' Association held a very successful and enjoyable first annual dinner at the Sandown Park Motor Hotel recently. Pre-dinner drinks were enjoyed and everyone chatted with everyone else after the meal. After dinner, the first presentation of the Committee Cup took place. This is awarded to the winner of the Forced Landing competition and was presented by the Association president, Mike Britten-den.
