Sunday 1st July

Top cover is coming in and the sniffer reports poor conditions, so it's a scrub. Pilots have gone to derig (they didn't appear to be taking the possibility of flying all that seriously to be honest!) and prize giving will be at 2:30pm in the hangar.

Party Night Costumes

We have a very resourceful & inventive bunch of competitors. Some of these costumes were a bit last minute but still very effective!

Latest scores for yesterday...

Still missing one trace but won't affect the top rankings:

Overall Scores at this moment:

We have set a short DHT task today, but this is not certain to happen as we're watching the weather.
More news later....

Not quite complete scores for today.....

Still got a few people out on retrieve...

Saturday 30th June

They're out on task at the moment. 2.5 hours AAT, EDG-NOW (100km sector)-TOW-CGT-EDG.

They've gone out to the North East as we have an easterly and some predicted cu. 

Party night tonight - Disco & fancy dress in the hangar.

Friday Quiz night

Our quiz was very well attended as usual so we moved to the hangar due to the extreme heat (photos of the temporary Shenington Lido later!). Many thanks to Paul & Lucy for organising the evening. (This year's controversial question related to the A1, for those who remember 'Parrotgate'). After the quiz many competitors fell back to the bar & clubhouse where they started a jamming session with piano & guitars.....zzzzzz

Friday 29th June

We initially set an AAT expecting it to be a more difficult day - a lower predicted 'cloud base' (no clouds!), more wind, later start, etc. As conditions failed to develop we eventually fell back to a short racing task, then scrubbed. A couple of people have gone flying, the rest have run for the shade.

Quiz night tonight!
