Thank you David, it was a great weekend. We were blessed with perfect weather, great company, great riding and thank you everyone for putting in some great Kelly history readings. Hope everyone got home safely that wind was a bit of a test.
Have you done your homework? There will a Principal's award for the best presentation....
Excellent. Can't wait but I still have my homework to do.
