As of Tuesday 12th, Tim reports that the Falke is out of action for a few days for its Annual & ARC. There are competitions on at both Bidford and Bicester this week though, like us, they're struggling with the poor weather. Graham W, our met man from Bidford, reports that the weather for Thursday is looking decent at the moment so watch out for the 'local' updates on these 2 sites if you're considering flying those days.
Mary has published her third book, which is a collection of many of her old articles for S&G together with some new ones. There are some very amusing stories, and Shenington (together with many of our pilots) gets plenty of mentions. There are also quite a few photos of local characters!! Don't forget to buy your copy.....(resistance is futile, and anyway, how many gliding books are there around that mention our site & friends??).
If you want to see more of the Damien's photos from the comp, have a look at the following link:
