It was a pleasure to have represented the DGS at the Kelly College CCF dinner this evening. The kind invitation was made by Major Dominic Tomalin in recognition of the college’s affiliation with the Society as part of the Junior Gliding scheme.

Guest of honour, Rear Admiral Chris Snow CBE, Flag Officer Officer Sea Training, presented the awards and it was a surprise and an honour to be asked to accept a college plaque on behalf of the Dartmoor Gliding Society. The trophy now has pride of place in the clubhouse.

The evening was a convivial affair and it was a pleasure to dine in the college anteroom flanked by Lucy Jones and Catarina Bell, looking totally different in their cocktail dresses rather than the fatigue uniforms they have to wear when they glide at Brentor.

Being club secretary can be onerous sometimes – this wasn’t one of them!
