June 21st - Regionals Day 1

The day started rather drizzly, with no chance of a clearance, so we had our first long briefing in the hangar then a scrub! It being day one there was plenty of glider and instrument fettling to do so many competitors stayed around for the afternoon. In the evening we had a 'Highland Games' organised by Mary's daughter Jess & her husband John. All great fun - who knew that a tug of war could be so much effort? Tossing the caber (large cardboard replica's!) was also very entertaining, and we had live music and dancing in the shape of Stephen Duffy, a piper, and four Scottish dancers. A good start to the week.
