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

Sunday 30th Jan



Another good January day with in excess of 35 flights. Some thermal activity ensured that a few had extended soaring flights of around 16 minutes or so. The ridge was not working but did help to pop off the occasional thermal.





After a final check ride Richard Barber converted to the Vega and seemed to enjoy himeslf!

Nigel gained his P1 mutual rating and we even managed to fly a trial lesson. All in all a very enjoyable day's flying. Good conditions for this time of year.

    It was great to finally get in the Vega.

    Thank you everyone for letting me fit in the flying before all my credits were used!
