Wednesday 23rd February 2011

Regular readers of this blog will recognise this forecast, mist and rain. However, there were plenty of members at the club. Hardy lot these glider pilots. The warm clubhouse, well stocked kitchen and simulator probably helps.

Apart from the chat and play there was lots of work being done. John and Ged completed the repairs to the aileron from BVB which was started by Martin at the weekend. It’s that team work again. There was a lot of clearing of scrap metal going on lead by Robin who seems to have made this his personal mission.

Another team assembled after lunch to do some fencing. No, not the sword fighting kind but repairs to the runway perimeter fences. This well balanced team even had their own doctor with them just in case any of the less fit members required CPR; driving in fence posts is a very physical endeavour.

Perhaps next week the weather will be better.
