The occurrences and happenings at Shalbourne Soaring Society. A gliding club near Andover, Newbury and Hungerford.

Sunday 28th November

Decidedly nippy but none of the snow covering other parts of the UK. A few "I flew the Helm" woolly hats on show and Rod H reported a spotting a brass monkey in search of a welder. Not enough wind to bring the ridge to life but folks were squeezing 10 or 11 minutes out of the K8 with Chris K taking the days honours with 13 minutes. Highest reported launch was 2,000'. First launch to last landing was 3:21 and in that time we clocked up 3:17 flying off 22 launches (only 2 gliders in use).
