September Flying & Maintenance

Mixed weather, and lots going on at the club to bring our buildings up to standard.


 
 













We had an 'end of season' party at the club (not that it's really end of our soaring season.....just getting quieter from now on) in late Sept....Food in the restaurant, then quiz and beer in the clubhouse!

Our student visitors helped demolish the old bunkhouse, and there were various work parties to clear the wreckage, and then to clear out and redecorate the club workshop. Thanks to the masses of club members who turned up to help dismantle the bunkhouse/fill the skip/empty out the workshop/clean and paint/move gliders, etc. 
Amazing how much stuff you can get in a container if you pack it carefully! 


The first painting crew. Shaun later did the floor, and the office was done a couple of weeks later.




Great to see progress being made with everyone working together.
On the clubhouse front, Steve B replaced the rotten front windows with hand built double glazed windows. Very smart, and the clubhouse is a lot warmer now, so should save on the heating bills.
