It was cold for here, temp at 10 a.m. about 2 Celsius (34F) with sun and fog.  The flying site was clear most of the time with the occasional mist rolling in for a few minutes then clearing out again.

The usual early birds were there around 9 a.m., more of us arrived around 10 a.m., and even more at noon. I would guess we had a grand total of about 20 from both the Vancouver Gas Model Club and the Pacific Aeromodellers Club.  Almost no wind maybe a 3 or 4 MPH breeze so flying was good for those who braved the cold. Alan Resinger, Chris Cox were the early fliers, others were Mike Conner, Denis Cousineau, Glenn Little, Joe Yau, I’ve probably missed a couple of names, and Barrie Shandel, & Henry Hajdik later on. There were more members of both clubs than fliers.

Iain Dowlling shot a couple of videos of the action:
