Tuesday 19 February

Andrew Brumby arrived at the club at 0530 to fly the tug to Tamworth - a very early start.

Another winch day. Garry Speight kindly agreed to come and instruct again, and I drove the winch.
David Sieb of hang gliding fame renewed his membership of the club, and took the opportunity to get a winch endorsement with Garry. By the end of the day he succeeded in this.

Al Giles attempted to winch IZT twice, but his back release kept releasing prematurely so he gave up. Garry and Kurt were able to get away for one soaring flight, but most of the flights were quite short. By the end of the day we had showers, and there was a lot of overdevelopment.

Al Giles wanted me to publish pictures of the paddy melons growing on the runway he was mowing! See how big they can get very quickly.
