More of the Flyers in the News
The
fame of the Flyers is spreading. Following our initial coverage in the
September
issue of the Vikings Newsletter the Chronicle has also recorded the
exploits of the Flyers - Oct
6 edition.
Classic quotes abound in the article, such as the "...the Flyers are a 'special' bunch of men and women..." - but it is good publicity and shows the rest of the public what they're missing out on.
