The POM
Flying Group held their mid-summer ball at Elsham Golf Club on Saturday
17th July. The evening started with opening credits, congratulations and
awards to celebrate the achievements of the group members and student
pilots. Formalities aside, the assembled throng of over 100 guests went
on to enjoy dinner followed by dancing to the band "Nitetrain" into the
wee small hours. A great time was had by everyone who attended and
the success of the evening has prompted early planning for the next
