Thursday 23 August

Quite a lot of club members around today. Geoff Sim and Ian Barraclough working on SI, Geoff Neely working on HDB, Steve Hedley & Julie and Ross Edwards rigging the nimbus. Tim Carr and I doing instructor training with Vic, and Chris Carr working on something - not sure what. Pilot officer Speight was on had to do the necessary with the tug.
It was very windy, but more or less down runway 14, we had a brief shower, overcast and no lift, but not particularly cold. Tim and I both assessed Vic for his AFR and I am afraid he failed dismally both times. We wouldn't let him fly solo without a fair bit of remedial training!

Ordinary conditions, but it was a good day nevertheless with all the congenial company!

Same again tomorrow but I will put the bread machine on in the morning, hot bread for lunch. I have run out of butter tho.

Tuggies Ball on Saturday night appears to be a sell out, so much so that there will be a non-tuggies ball for the left overs! Looks like being an excellent weekend.
