Dartmoor Gliding News-Wednesday 20th February 2019

Another Wednesday with a strong gusting wind from the south and a 500’ cloudbase. So no flying again.

The small group of members set about removing the redundant seats in the bus. Andy, Malcolm, Bob and myself armed ouselves with sockets, spanners, allen keys and scredrivers and set to work. As per the directions on the forum the relevant seats were removed and temporarily stored at the back of the bus to await a decision on their disposal.

Meanwhile Steve mounted the roller and set about rolling the main track and parts of the airfield. He also attached the areas around the clubhouse.

 John arrived a bit later and took over the roller to firm up the entrance and track into the car park.

Phil and Robin ventured to the far end of the airfield to repair the roof of the T-hangar.

Thank you to all who turned up today. Some good work was undertaken today. Let’s hope for some better weather soon which will allow us to do some flying.
