Saturday was a bit variable but Graham managed to fly almost 350 km in 60, flying out to Long Sutton in Norfolk, then Stradishall and home.
Sunday looked better and there were lots of toys out. Dave Perkins was DI on his own, and though we had lots of additional instructors they were mostly going cross country in their own gliders so he was kept very busy with trainees and visitors. Phil & Russell went off in the Duo, Graham set a 380km to Newmarket, Grantham and Grafham, and John W set Grafham O/R. Paul had the DG800 out but not sure where it went, nor the various K6Es. Anyway they all went off soaring and left the rest of us at Shenington to enjoy the afternoon. No-one landed out though Graham had to cut his flight short due to evening commitments.
Early evening we spotted a visitor in the circuit and were anticipating an aerotow retrieve for the tuggie till we realised it was the Oxford GC DG500 flying in for the week. Their site is shut this week so assorted members are coming along to fly with us. Once everything was packed away a large crowd of Shenington/Oxford folks descended on Nick at the Roebuck for dinner.
