NCCA UPDATE

Following the NCCA shareholders meeting which was held at the AVRO show, it appears that they have no money to pay the companies that have compleated work for them. When we know more we will pass on the information.

********************************

A group of twenty five travelled from Ireland to the cotswolds for the thirtieth anniversary AVRO show, although the weather was perfect we were very disappointed at the extremely low turnout . You could have walked around the whole show including stands in five minutes. Below are a few photos of the usual suspects enjoying themselves
