Wednesday 17th February

A good turnout and the return of one of our winter migrants (Andrew Beaumont) combined to inspire us to haul the kit out onto a sodden airfield, in the process exercising some creativity in establishing a safe and minimally soggy area on which to operate.

But the mud won in the end, meaning that even the combined enthusiasm and muscle of our Chairman and Secretary failed to move the winch from its boggy parking place into position.

Then the rain started, so we put everything away again - but not before an intensive pressure washer session transformed the appearance of both 'Discos' and quad bike.

There followed a useful brainstorming session in the club-house, where Steve Lewis and Bob Jones explained some of the thinking behind the open day on Easter Monday. Some useful thoughts were provided by the whole team, both in connection with the open day itself, and the development of our 'trial lessons' programme on a broader scale.
