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

Sunday 22nd August

Arrived to find the field arready set-up by the insomniacs but we then sat around as no one keen to just fly circuits. With the appearance of the days first TL we started flying. It soon became apparent that the wind hadn't read the weather forecast so it was change end time. Flights were rather short until 14:00 when Chris B stayed airborne for an hour. All three of our 2-seaters were kept busy with 2 TL's, 2 half day courses, visitors from Shennington and Uphavon and friends of members. As the day progressed the flying got better, higest climb I heard of was to 4,800. The C team were certainly kept busy.
