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

Wednesday 19th January

At last a flyable Wednesday and the sunny day ensured a good turnout. Getting started proved a bit of a trial with the launch lights difficult for the winch driver to see but we finally got going launching into a northerly - however, not enough of a northerly to get the ridge working. The 4 club gliders out clocked up 26 launches with Paul Prentice taking longest flight honours with an impressive (for the day!) 17 minutes. Half a dozen other flights manged more than 10 minutes.
