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

Sunday 22nd

The trick was to launch in the first part of the day - anyone launching after 14:00 got little more than circuits.  A modest turnout and only one private glider rigged (well, it had been left rigged from the previous day).  Just under 10 hours flown off 19 launches - 4 of those accounted for from the 2 flights in the afore mentioned private glider (the lovely LS3-17).
Visits from a couple of former members - Tony Palmer and Clive Harder.  Tony had just stopped by to say hello and asked to be remembered to those long enough in the club to remember him.  Clive took a couple of launches, unfortunately not until after 14:00 change.
