Fog, low cloud. rain, wind - we met it all as we approached the airfield this morning. Various activities were in progress. The vehicles were being pressure washed and vacuumed . Meanwhile, Bob Jones was hard at work in the kitchen and was so close to being signed off for kitchen duties but for the lack of personal safety equipment in the form of marigolds and a pinny.

Mathew Wiles and Darren Wills managed to find the brightest sunshine yellow paint to decorate the wall outside the office, while Pauline Puttock and I chose a more sophisticated "natural wicker" colour for the ladies powder room. Victor, Darren and Matthew then joined Don for a Bronze C lecture

The day ended with a superb meal comprising bigos barszcz and pierogi and chocolate fondue with strawberries and marshmallows, oh, and a small glass of wine. The simulator was kept busy with competition flying to North Hill, and Chris says everyone was a lot faster than the Chairman! :-)
Gourmet gliding? Is this a new sport
