The winter blues are upon us but we have been fortunate to have the very cold days interspersed with some mild and wind free days that have been great for flying. Having said that, as I finalise this HT, in the last week or so we have had 30mm of rain. Next week has a forecast of rain every day from the 4th to 12th of August! Despite the current weather, we did manage two club ... Read More

He is coming good, so we wish Fred a speedy recovery and we hope to see him ... Read More
