The Wx in 2011 was very poor in many parts if the country. I flew 25%
less at our non-club.

We have noticed the same in the UK, it's the economic downturn, leisure
activities are the first to show a decline in a recession. They even in
many cases signal the onset.

The weather's not helping either - especially for those of us in clubs
subject to North Sea clag. Its telling you quite a bit about that when
