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

Saturday 15th

What a great day!
Despite an almost promising sky it was not really a great day for flying XC so most of us made do by staying within easy reach of the airfield but not Ken Reid who proved us right by landing the K8 at Alton Barnes! Luckily Jim and Chris B were on hand to go and retrieve him.....by the way anyone seen the K8 trailer board?

Whilst sharing a thermal with Chris K in his Cirrus I took this video on my phone as Paul gallantly tried to keep up with him :-)



Finally congratulations go to Jon Garner who after passing his bronze theory test the other week successfully flew the flight tests today and has now completed his bronze badge so just needs to get his XC endorsement..........well done Jon.
