At North Hill if the weather does not allow flying there is always something to do - today members were doing this and that with ground equipment, using the simulator to good effect and also spending time on briefings of one subject or another.
Mark Courtney, Mike Sloggett and James Flory, having spotted some candidates for some ground briefings were soon in whiteboard mode in the briefing room with Jake and Luke Stabb, soon joined by Alex Sparks a new junior member - all being well the weather on their next flying days will be good enough to allow theory to be put into practice.

Meanwhile in the Club Simulator, several members completed various training exercises aerotows, simulated rope breaks, spinning and sideslips. After lunch Stewart Henshall and Pete Harmer were investigating the control calibrations and testing proof of concepts for improved trim and wheel brake mechanisms.
Rob Rand and Jill Harmer ran some maintenance on the Club website, and Cheryl tidied up the front garden. - Another busy non-flying day at North Hill - Mike Sloggett & J&P
