It appears there was no flying at the weekend - the weather wasn't very good. Those in residence at the club went to the Country Music Festival by way of diversion, and I heard a rumor that Trevor West had been pole dancing!
I didn't manage to get back to Keepit until Monday evening, because getting the generator checked out at Cowra delayed me. I met the Paul Roche, Boris and John White in Woolworths in Gunnedah on the way back so we had a meal there together.
Garry Speight ran the day for me (big thanks Garry) and Gerhard and Trevor were out as well, so they had plenty of instructors. No tug, so Boris flew the winch instead. A few soaring flights were accomplished and student for the week Roland Inman had four flights with Garry. Most took the opportunity to get current on the winch just in case. Gabriel Kalkbrenner, our only young glider pilot, did some winch launches with Matthew Minter, and then flew solo in the Grob. Apparently they all had a good laugh as some local girls were trying to chat Boris up on the CB radio.
We seem to have a great crowd here this week, with everyone having a bit of a laugh together - makes up for the somewhat indifferent weather.
