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

Wednesday 30th

October started off well with 5 flying days -3 of which were exceptional for the time of year.  Then 2 weeks of no flying because of the rubbish weather.  Today we finished off October in style.
We started flying about 10:30 and an hour later Alan B set the bar to beat with a 2,100' launch and 14 minutes.  Another hour and Rob J pipped Alan's flight time by 1 minute  Not to be out-done by his syndicate partner Chris K clocked up a 20 minute flight. which include climbing in a thermal from 1,000' to cloud base at 1,800'.  Alan still held highest launch honours until I got my hands on the K8 and launched to 2,350'.
16 members enjoyed what the day had to offer.
