The 2009 edition of the annual GGC Lobster party was held last weekend under cloudy but dry skies. The cooking fires were lit by 5:00 PM and soon the cast iron pots were boiling with fresh cooked lobster. Barbeques were also lit for those tastes were preferred the bovine variety of “Alberta Lobster”.
Throughout the evening, diners were entertained by the GGC version of those “Magnificent Men and Their Flying Machines” (using models) as Jeff flew his self desig
ned, blue foam “Thing” and Greg with his sleek electric glider. A true study of contrasts…The "Thing" once again proving that with enough thrust and flight control software (gyros), you can make anything fly and Greg showing what can be done with 10% of the normal thrust from his “Superflugel”.
As darkness fell, Nial set up a non-stop 10 minute fireworks extravaganza which was quickly followed by lighting the bonfire with bow and arrow (al la Barcelona Olympics…well…sort of).
Special thanks to all who helped make the 2009 GGC lobster party such a resounding success!
