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

Easter Sunday

The conditions today were nothing like yesterday's but we still managed to fit in quite a few flights albeit short ones. Ken Reid manged the longest flight of the day with 29 minutes and Steve Gaze with me in the Janus squeezed in 21 minutes.

Richard Barber flew his recently acquired Sport Vega, which he had delivered from Aboyne during the week, and seemed to enjoy his new toy. Hopefully he will get many hours and xc flights in it over the following months.

Jeff Lynes, after some encouragement, converted to the club's Sport Vega and enjoyed the experience. Lastly, but not least, Rod Harris completed his annual checks and we also fitted in some welcome trial lessons.

All in all a good day's flying was had by all.
