Well I can honestly say that I have never seen so much water in the lanes
driving to the club on this February morning! The field was being used today
by the Beavers, the Exeter Water Polo Club. A great bunch, please don't come
back soon though!
In the clubhouse we welcomed Jo, a French guy who traveled up with the "New" Plymouth Brethren and Sam, a friend of Mr " Hair today" Liam AKA pockets.
Paul S gave the newbies a really good talk on
glider basics which they seemed to enjoy.
In the lecture room a bit later Mike S gave his first lecture on circuit planning to an audience consisting of Simon L, Mark C, Pete S, Paul S and Dave W. Despite our best efforts to play bad pupils he performed well!
The club room seemed to fill up with people keen to watch the rain whilst eating and drinking - it's amazing how people can be so cheerful on a day that could make a Panda cry.
Henry worked hard at fixing the water pump delivery system. In the process he nearly managed to electrocute his willing helper (William). Please note to anyone attempting work on electrical systems, DO NOT stand in a bucket of water whilst connecting high voltage wires!
And lastly the Tears. Down in the glider workshop Mark C collected his band of helpers who scraped the paint off the nose of his ASW20 armed with wire brushes and metal files and JB was last seen consoling the trauma ridden owners Mark C and Mike S .
Another wet day but filled with humour and banter. MC
