Saturday 5th February 2010

Rain, low cloud and high winds made this a clubhouse day.There was plenty going on though.

Matthew was busy studying for the Bronze exam. Bob and I were practicing for our BI test using the simulator. Don gave a very informative lecture on recognising the clues to potentially good soaring days from all the forecast information available to today’s pilots. 

Rick Wiles continued the development of the clubhouse computer network. We now have a computer driving the simulator and a separate one in the office for preparing presentations, study and research. Both computers share a common file system. There is a third computer being prepared to drive the new plasma screen (thanks to the tea fund) which will be positioned to enable it to be used to give lectures and presentations without interfering with the simulator.
