Last Saturday, the 16th of April, the Northern
Region held their Truck Driving Competition at Ardmore Airfield. A fun day was
had by everyone who attended. The entrants showed their class in both the
written and practical parts of the competition. Our Golden Oldies manned the
barbeque making sure everyone had sufficient to eat, and on top of that - the
