I travelled 1000+ miles from Texas in my series 2 and I must say the event
was well worth it. I would certainly repeat this journey for an Invasion 2.
Ian, I am sorry to hear you were sick and missed most of the Invasion, I
know you and your helpers put a lot of work into the event, you all did a
great job, Thanks. It was great to see so many Alpines in one place.
