Cross Country Group update

Hello All. I'm told that there will a weather lecture on Sunday evening at 7pm. Contact Graham P if you want to be added to the WhatsApp group.

Saturday 13th January

Today was a typical cold January day. The low cloud cleared only briefly when the CFI took a launch, so aerotows were binned for the day. We had fun anyway and did plenty of winch flights. 

 John & Paul had a long wait in the glider after we had a big cable tangle, but eventually got the longest flights of the day - an epic 7 minutes, apparently gained 'soaring the Alkerton ridge'.

The winch was actually the warmest spot on the airfield!  

 

Sooty looked cosy and sleek in her winter coat but the rest of us were ready to defrost in the clubhouse when we packed up just before 5pm.

Weekend 6 - 7th Jan

Saturday 6th was a bit miserable so the perfect day for an afternoon club strategy meeting, hosted by Phil B. There was a good turnout, and a lot of useful ideas about recruitment and advertising. Afterwards 15 of us had an evening meal together courtesy of Jane.
Sunday was bright and clear, and there was flying, followed by a Regionals meeting later on.
