Paul Bowden (UK) is actually recovering from having been recently successfully operated on for a potential life threatening illness, our thoughts and prayers go out to him for a full recovery to good health very soon.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support you have given this FT discussion group over the past many years. It was an idea that started many years ago with a “list” that was run by list-bot. I don’t even know if the domain even exists today. Is there anyone today on FT that was on my list-bot discussion group? Anyone remember it?

Enjoy the visit that Dave Black had visiting Canada in 2011. More can be found at the website: http://englishflyingtipplerunion.tipplers.org.uk

Recently, Dave Black was able to visit and check out some of the lofts in the greater Toronto area. During the visit, a quick video was taken and with some additional nostalgic memories, we have a video now of their meeting together as well as a number of other photos. Have a look see. Great to have you visit Canada, Dave!

It is with the greatest of sadness that we must let everyone know of the passing of a great mother and wife, Kathy Zovich, wife of long-time Tipplerman Oskar Zovich of Toronto Canada on July 10th, 2011. Kathy is remembered by each and every visitor to the house as an exceptionally hospitable and amicable individual who supported her husband in every way.

The CNTU held its AGM Jan 9th, 2011 with about 25 members attending. We had quite the productive meeting. The members voted to define the English Flying Tippler into the constitution by a unanimous vote in favour, I may be wrong here but this may be one of a kind.extremely proud of the membership on this one.
