Well the New Year continues to slip and slide in on a sea of mud created by the endless rain and drizzle in the westerly airflow. Where are the long periods of easterly wave that we all want this time of year? All this is of course driven by the Jet Stream which has planted itself firmly overhead. For your interest this link will take you to the current Jetstream forecast. ( It is always available on the club website on the Members/ RASP Forecast page )

As always there were several members working on various projects. Rick refitted the hubs to the GusLaunch winch after servicing the brakes and both he and Dave were then preparing to remove the cab to inspect the differential / final drive assembly which has been showing some signs of wear. Phew. Colin Boyd returned with the canopy latching mechanism for DMX which has had the external latch release reinstated.

While all this was going on Mike Gadd worked with John Bolt to complete the CofA and ARC renewal for the Open Cirrus getting it ready for the season which is surely only a few short weeks away.

As the day wore on there was a gradual infux of members ready for the afternoon's Committee meeting.
