Our annual awards were presented at the Christmas Lunch at The Littlebury Hotel, at Bicester on 2rd December 2007 by our guest speaker Jennifer Murray. Jennifer has flown around the world solo in an R44 helicopter, becoming the first woman to do so. Earlier this year she (and fellow pilot Colin Bodill) achieved another first by flying a helicopter round the world via both poles. www.polarfirst.com
