Monday 17 December

Lots of activity at the club this week. Students on a course are Nigel Holmes and Patricia Healy, Jim Thompson wanted some more pre-solo instruction. Karen Sage is getting back to solo flying, and John Deutch booked in to fly with Garry Speight. Harry Potts flew the LS6. Gerhard is staying at the club this week two, which has been great because he has been able to look after Karen.

Now that we've got the new tug, and it is here at LKSC, what could be the problem? Well Ron Cameron, our illustrious president and intrepid tug ferry pilot, took Boris away to Murrurrundi for the weekend, but neglected to bring him back! So we had a tug but no tuggie. What else can go wrong?

Fortunately, John Deutsch elected not to come up until Monday evening, leaving Garry free to come out and fly the tug. Many thanks for saving the day Garry.

After a somewhat late start, we had some reasonable soaring flights, but the wind became quite strong at the end of the day.
