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

Monday night is gliding night (24th june 13)

Its not often that there's a blog entry about our summertime weeknight activities... Most of the time a slick crew of members turns out to support the club by flying organised groups of visitors until the sunsets.

Monday was very similar to this pattern with a group of Walsh Common scouts turning up to have some airborne fun, however the slick crew turned out to be not only slick but also unusually large in number so we wheeled the k8 down to the launch point, Alan P taking off and spending 17 mins flying around in something before landing and letting other 3 members have some daylight. Even the CFI couldn't match that after we had dragged him kicking and screaming to the glider (not).
