Whilst the airfield at North Hill is still waterlogged - when will it stop raining? (ed: be careful what you wish for!) - An update meeting for the Competition Enterprise 23 was held, with plans progressing well.
The recent bad weather has provided an opportunity to fabricate some hoists to move ahead with the next stage of the Club Glider Trailer Shelter - lifting up the sloping rafters and installing the intermediate support posts. The forecast suggested Sunday morning would provide a window for a trial run. A couple of cold and heavy showers dampened the enthusiasm but we persevered. Jonathan Erskine prepared the post with the bituminous wrapping while I fixed the hoists. We snared Tom and Phil after the Enterprise meeting and they did the heavy work whilst Nick dug the hole and lifted in the post and all was swiftly bolted up.

A small addition is needed to smooth location of the top of the post and then we can work our way through the roof structure. I should also have said many thanks to the spontaneous helpers and particularly Jonathan - Peter Smith
In the evening, there were two races running for Condor Racers, the Condor World Cup team went to the mountains in central Italy, and another group went to Austria.
