The view while eating a burnt toasted Bacon Sarnie.

Ice on the inside of the windows, and the coffee and bacon sandwich seems so much nicer.

The weather was unremarkable except for the occasional snow storm!

Two new trainees joined us, a warm welcome to Alan Carter and Alec Birch, great to have you with us. Both of these guys have flown before, Alan went solo with the RAFGSA, and Alec, a friend of Roger and Barry Green is a hang glider pilot.

Congratulations to Sandra Buttery, first solo today. She seems to do her best flying when no one is in the back!

Roger and Barry Green both completed their Bronze certificate today. How often has a father and son team achieved that on the same day!!

A big thank you to Alan and Heather who kept the cables coming all day---the day would not have been such a success without you.

Thanks to all for making me feel welcome. Had a great day and look forward to many more. Congratulations to Sandra on her solo flight and to Roger and Barry for completing their Bronze certificate.

I would like to send a huge thank you to everyone who has helped me progress to solo. The friendliness and encouragement from fellow members is second to none.

Everyone works so hard and gives a lot of their time to help run the Club, not only ground handling, winch driving etc., but all the behind the scenes work that goes on in the hangar and the office.

So thank you and I look forward to a great summer with you all.
