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

Wednesday 3rd

First flying day of the club's new year.  We weren't able to match the eternity that is 22 minutes but 7 (of the 21 flights) did make it to double digits.  Mainly westerly but the wind did shift a little more southerly and launches of just over 2,000' (in the K13's, K8 was the hangar queen) were on offer.  Rob J set the target to beat of 14 minutes which Peter M matched a couple of launches later.  Paul Mc did a great job keeping the Puchacz launching as everyone else wanted the higher launches provided by the K13's.  We were pleased to welcome Charles Mc as our newest member.
