Winter cometh and JB’s comeback.
It was 2 °C this morning at the club, with the wind chill
it left us feeling that summer was long gone! The forecast was spoton with
showers developing both to the North and
South of us, thankfully never actually arriving over site . After a slow start
members arrived and enjoyed extended flights along the ridge although the
massive shower systems did pull the wind
direction from SW to NW at times.
Quarterly members Adrian
(dad) and son, Mark, filled their boots with plenty of flights between them, when
they were not flying they worked very hard around the launch point, the good
news is that they have applied for full membership, - just the sort of members we
need! welcome guys.

| Stu was kept busy in the Pawnee |
The cloudbase looked low at times but surprisingly the tug was kept busy with tows to 3000ft easily achievable,
Roly and Heather took advantage and had a long flight in the K21 together, as did Mike S and his son Phil. Despite the cold,
single seaters were rigged -Jonathan S ASW19, Andrew L K6 and Lisa ASW20. Lisa
very kindly offered Martin W a flight in her 20, when he saw that Lisa had put
her pink tips on his little eyes lit up, judging by the way he floated up and down the ridge, I think the LS3 will
have little pink tips soon!
Thanks to Peter S and James for fitting a new PVC
window in the workshop, those 30 year old windows don’t give in without a
fight.
