Tuesday 22 September

Rain Rain Rain here yesterday. We do need the rain, but it does get a bit depressing. A day for maintenance. Ray Tilley is here beavering away on the gliders - finishing the paint job on the Grob, and the form 2 on the Junior. He has given me a mission to make a headrest for the Junior so I had to go into Tamworth to get the materials I needed. Got the club car radio fixed (missing PIN) while I was there. Committee meeting in the evening. More rain and now dust!

The bad weather has obviously arrived to coincide with a large gathering of slope soaring modellers on Mt Borah.

I obviously stirred up a couple of people with my blog yesterday, as John Clark has now written up his experience of the weekend, and John Stewart has posted his flight to the OLC. Looks as if he got to 10000 ft at Barraba. Not bad.

Our friend Geoff Pratt, who flew here during May last year, (I showed him how to post his flights to the OLC), is now comprehensively leading the winter contest, and has just posted a 605km flight at 136 kph flying the Morning Glory at Burketown. Well done Geoff.
