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

Saturday 16th April

Definately a day for flying flying early. We were greated with no wind and far more blue sky than forecast so I opted for the launch point at the top end to make it easier to get more gliders out if needed. The first 3 gliders to launch found the lift and clocked up two hours flying between them. Then the gaps in the cloud filled in and all teh thermals stopped. After four more launches we'd halved the average flight time to 20 mins. It would have been a great training day but there were no takers. Hopefully the next open day will bring some new members but as always the club is happy to see potential new members at any time. Congratulations to the three who flew Silver Height on Tuesday. Pete has checked the loggers in the Flarms and has confirmed all three claims are good.
