The weather was less than ideal for gliding with the visibility ranging from being able to just see the beech trees to not being able to see the glider trailers. Undaunted, the group of enthusiasts who turned up ever hopeful that it might clear later, were rounded up by Pete Warren to lend their backs to mending some of the potholes in the driveway. Pete Smith was also on site and he managed to rescue a couple of volunteers from getting covered in bitumen to get them covered in oil instead, by helping to fit a new earth strap to the launch point vehicle which is now self propelled again.
Over the weekend, Les the winch and Allan Turner had cleared the fallen branches off the south boundary fence so that was one less job to do.
Who knows, we might even get the gliders out next week!
Oh and the sheep are back on the field.
