Monday 5th April 2010 - Open Day

There was a great atmosphere as a large contingent of club members arrived early to get everything ready for the open day.

The hangar was emptied in double quick time and the club gliders were lined up. These were joined by the Jantar1, Open Cirrus, Twin Astir and Martin's Slingsby Tutor. It was the Tutor that created the most interest amongst the club members.


The clubhouse was busy; several members wives were in the kitchen making tea, coffee, bacon sandwiches etc. Young Mathew was on the computer demonstrating a gliding simulator which lots of visitors attempted to fly.

There was a steady stream of visitors throughout the day, and while the crosswind was far too strong for air experience flying, everyone had a good time. Voucher sales were bouyant and several visitors showed real interest in learning to fly.

The highlight of the afternoon was the arrival of Alan Holland flying his Super Cub which looked almost threatening in it's Belgian camouflage markings. His arrival and later departure attracted lots of spectators.

Many thanks to everyone how help make this such a successful day
