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

OPEN DAY A GREAT SUCCESS

Open Day was a great success. The weather was great - dry, mostly sunny, and warm despite a keen northeasterly wind - actually, the wind was ideal, giving us great launches. People wanting to find out more about gliding and experience it for themselves arrived steadily all day, never allowing us time to twiddle our thumbs yet never having to form a long queue. We hope to see them again soon.

Thanks to all the club members who played their various parts - instructors, winch drivers, retrieve drivers who are always needed, and those helping with people with parachutes and seat harnesses, and those who put out the posters and leaflets. A special mention for Claire who kept track of who was next to fly and making sure they did; also of course Stephen and Catriona who organised the whole event and advertising.
