SLUG PARS @ WET EARS, May, 2006  
 

Despite terrible weather on day two, and a couple of PARS members not able to attend, we had a great time. The weather on the first day was not exactly clear cool blue skies, but at least it was not raining. There were some spectacular lauches. The Space Plane was incredible. Below you'll find some photos from the event. On the right many more. Read on and find out about the slug.

On the second day, the rain moves in, and flying
comes to an abrunt halt

On waking up - PARS president was handed a hot
cup of tea by his good wife. Drinking eagerly after
a cold wet night, the final ignomany was to find
slug --- in his mouth -- that had been hiding in the
cup. Tea will never taste the same again!
