The Bank holiday weekend started early (!) with excellent weather. On Thursday Carole, Ellen and I had a working lunch to discuss the implications of social media to the club operations. I think that the actions have been written up and circulated. Afterwards I resumed my painting in the new Simulator room. Paul Barnes turned up and pinched Bruno's K13for an hour's soaring, and Bruno used his downtime to show Shaun how to cover his aircraft's rudder. Tim D and the Chairman flew DVX after it emerged from its workshop cocoon where it had been for five months and went soaring.

Friday 3rd April:
It rained all day Friday - so much for the BH!
Saturday 4th April:
Weather not great, though not as wet as yesterday. We had 6 flights including 2 glamorous ladies whose presence generated a larger than normal ground crew staff to choose from! Russell enjoyed the experience. Liz produced an amazing turkey dinner with all the trimmings (not crackers!) for 17 people, plus sticky toffee pudding.
Sunday 5th April:

A mixed bag of weather - managed 19 launches. Glen Evans flew solo twice and Sam Tomline regained his currency in gliders. John Rogers flew 35 mins in the K21 for the longest flight of the day. Mary brought her lodger Lesley and both flew with Phil M. Clive, Phil H., Sam and Christine all had fun flying the tug.
After flying a crowd of us went off to the very welcoming Roebuck pub for a slap up meal.
