Christmas is on its way!
And IFFR UK have once again celebrated with their traditional Christmas Lunch at the RAF Club in Piccadilly, London. A truly international get-together, with UK members being joined by IFFR European Region Vice-President Kris de Keyser and fellow Flying Rotarians from Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Norway.
Pre-lunch drinks were served in the Churchill Bar, before we lunched in the Sovreign’s Room. After the meal, we heard from Martin Robinson, CEO of AOPA UK on his journey into aviation, the challenges and successes of AOPA UK in the last few years, and the opportunities still to come.
IFFR UK Section Chair Kevin Doyle presented the Flyer of the Year Award to stalwart members John and Diana Davy for their many years of keeping IFFR UK flying high, both with the flying to events all over Europe, and for organising the Christmas Lunch for many years now.
As is customary, after the formalities, many of us adjourned to the Running Horse pub underneath the RAF Club to continue the celebrations.
And we were reminded of many of the dates of IFFR meetings in Europe in 2025 – they are on our website !
As we end one year and head into the next – its Onwards and Upwards, Always.
And a Happy Christmas to one and all.
