The heavy rains this week mean that the airfield is still too soft and wet to operate. The forecast for the coming week is for dry, windy weather so that will dry things out and get us flying again.

John finished off the aileron repair for BVB. Several members studied ( or revised ) the subtleties of Navigation and the Bronze Exam with Don. Scratch and Mike completed the annual inspection of their Astir.

Rick continued his work on the club computer network. We now have one computer in the office for pilots to access the internet for Notams, weather forecasts etc. and for instructors to prepare presentations and training materials, one in the clubroom driving the Simulator and another in the main clubroom with a big screen for lectures / presentations. online videos etc. All the computers are connected to the internet. The network is wireless enabled for members to use with their laptops, smartphones, PDAs.  Welcome to the 21st century DGS.

Next week definitely looks better.
