Today’s weather looked awful. Very strong and gusty WSW winds, low cloud base, and rain. Regular readers will recognise the description of a non flying day.
Was the club deserted?
Not a bit of it. Colin Boyd and Allan Holland were in the hangar working on the new K13. In the clubhouse the Treasurer and 2 Field Treasurers were having animated discussions which seemed to require lots of pointing at the screens of the laptops in front of each of them.

| Today's view from the control tower window - delightful |
David Bourchier was investigating the winch / launch radios which had shown a fault when last used. This resulted in the Control Tower being fitted with a new radio. Mike Gadd had removed the instrument panel from his Open Cirrus to investigate an intermittent electrical fault and, amusingly, was trying to persuade Ged, his syndicate partner, that they should invest lots of money in some new instruments.

| The "5 Musketeers" Dartmoor Gliding's very own fencing gang. |
The group who must take all the praise though comprised John Rogers, Ian Osbourne, Jorg Beasley, Adrian Irwin and their leader Phil Hardwick who spent a most of the day in the wind and rain on the airfield replacing a large section of fencing on the north corner that a seen better days. Now that is real commitment.
