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

Thursday 16th

Good call from Colin to move Wednesday to Thursday.  Unfortunately, it meant I was not able to be there so I'm just reporting from what I've seen in the log.
Paul P proved there was some soaring to be had with 29 minutes off the first launch but it was over 2 hours and a dozen launches later before anyone else managed to do anything much better than a circuit.  That was Ken R's second attempt in HZD (ASW 15) in which he took second longest flight of the day honours with 1:11.  From that point on most flights were longer than basic circuits.  The longest flight?  Peter E - once more in HZD.
10:46 flown off 30 launches - somewhat better than the 9 launches over the whole of the previous weekend.
