We are indebted to our sponsors – Michael Borowski from Gate Opening Systems, Nick Nomikos from Top Tech Panels and Bob Miller from Flite Helmets, whose generous sponsorship enables us to put on a great program of racing for our members year-round.
Also a big thanks to the members of the Northern Committee for making the night possible and for their hard work throughout the year. Thanks to Dave Anderson for capturing the night on film. Some snaps below.
