After my initial enthusiasm this morning, the sky slowly clouded over and only one pilot launched.
About half the pilots are here now, although some only arrived late and are yet to rig.
Bob Flood has laid out the tie down area and is working on the water reticulation.
Grant and I inspected all the airfield and while it is drying out, there are many rough areas to beware of.
The marquee has been erected, the portable toilets, tables and chairs delivered, and the hangar emptied out and readied for use as the briefing area and bar.
The new ropes made up by Lex are here, the wine for the day winners is here and the perpetual trophies are being returned.
SWR has been used here for towing all week.
IGR is due to arrive from Armidale on Saturday morning and MLR on Sunday morning.
The other 3 tugs will be here late Sunday or early Monday morning.
The official opening by the Mayor of the Western Downs Region, Cr Ray Brown, will be on Monday morning.
