BIRDMAN 2001

By: Mark.

 

The international birdman contest takes place each summer in Bognor Regis. Lots of silly people jump off a pier into the cold sea! There is a web site at www.birdman.org.uk.

One day over a beer or two, some Abbot members suggested entering. To get a feel of the thing, the club rode down to the 2001 event to try and pick up some clues! Of course, to get in the mood we had to have a BBQ the night before in a secret location near Southampton! This is the picture evidence...
