17/12/2007 - 2007 Hovering Competition In another outstanding display of sporting brilliance, Argon Construction’s “City Branch” has won the inaugural 2007 Helicopter Hovering competition. Despite fierce competition from the “Village People” they were unable to match the precision flying and sheer brilliance displayed by City Branch’s Ben Kent. Chief Judge Rianne Cole said at the awards dinner presentation that the skill and commitment shown by all of the City Branch team sent out a strong message to the other competitors that they would have to raise their game if they wanted to compete in next years competition. The Hovering Cup comes hard on the heels of other recent City Branch wins: Karting Champs, Fly Fishing being the most recent |
