Very Happy Easter Bunnies!

Lots of happy Easter Bunnies today as the weather gave us an unexpected super soarable day. Tasking to the East I set a 300km for the pundits! To many good flights to mention them all here but suffice to say everyone had a good time with lots of soaring, including Bob W who went XC P.2 with me in the K21 - the smile says it all. Thanks to Paul N for holding the fort whilst I whizzed off XC!


Well done to Bruno and Gail who clocked up 200km O/R for the best scoring XC flight on the club ladder beating both the turbo boys who raced round the 300km pundit task! Our German guest Sven gets the sticky-bum award for gaining both Silver Height and Silver Duration in the club K8, but happiest bunny of all was Clive Smith who finally completed his Silver Badge with an O/R to Sackville Farm (well nearly...he didn't quite get back to Shenington but did pull off an excellent first field landing a few KMs short of the M40) and popped the Champers at the club BBQ tonight. Thanks to LPCs Tez and Dave S who stayed on the ground keeping the launch-point running smoothly and also to Sue W & Team for organising tonights party whilst we were all out having fun.
