No flying today but a whole lot of fun ! Very few members of the crazy gang (Thursday crew) turned up today, but those who did set about the great clear out . We welcomed back our travellers from afar- Pete and Jill.
All the MT equipment was taken out of the old
hanger so work could commence , Paul S was left in charge of lighting the bonfire, unfortunately he failed his
test for a "Ray Mears fire lighting badge" . With a bit of help from
a can of avgas though he managed it , I wouldn't say that everything was burnt
today but it was close to it !

Apologies
to Adrian P as we burnt his tatty sandwich box unknown to us it did contain
some lovely fresh caviar rolls with Nigerian beaver cheese - yummy !
Some
heavy items are now in John S 's tunnel , we will be attacking that soon but we
need the old wizard to be there before we make his prized possessions disappear !

| What a clean floor! |
After
lunch Pete displayed one of his flights from NZ onto the projector screen , it
was fascinating and humbling at the same time, that sort of gliding is the
stuff of dreams and well worth seeing if you get the chance !
Quick
reminder that anyone with items stored at the club have until the 31st March to
either remove them or gain permission for storage. Only the Tug hanger , Tunnel
, and surrounding areas to be tidied now ! - MC
PS from Pete & Jill (for those who don't read google groups)
1) Thanks to everyone for holding the fort whilst we were away
2) Red Arrows night dinner- unfortunately the dinner list has gone missing so I have started a new list, Please email me if you were on the list, I will also see if we can expand into the cleared briefing room, to accomodate a few more. I'll put a new list up by the kitchen at the weekend.
3) CAA charts - I shall place an order on 18th March for both new southern England and older (latest) Scottish charts. Please see list on noticeboard or email me.
