Whilst most of our neighbouring clubs have 'moth-balled' their midweek operations for the winter, we've been out flying on every occasion the weather allows. Indeed, we have enjoyed some useful flying on all of the last nine days, proving that at Shenington 'Winter Mode' does NOT mean hiberanation.
Fri - It was a day for the Falke, and Robin was out flying in the clear spells between the showers.
Sat - Paul Noonan ran the day which started rather dull, but picked up during the afternoon enough for some flying followed by our Bonfire and Fireworks, and John D's "JAR Party" with the barrel of Hook he'd provided. A good night was had by all.

| Wonderful Autumnal Colours |
Sun - Super sunny made it a fantastic autumnal day for flying and taking in the spectacular autumnal colours. Bruno and team ran the day with Dave P as LPC and Roddy in the Tug. I flew with Paul N to complete his AFR and start work on his Full Cat work-up, and Derrick S to combine his AFR and currency checks now he's back from Spain and available as a mid-week instructor to encourage mid-week club flying.
