After much prodding from the erstwhile editor of Keepit Soaring, transmission of "the Blog" has resumed.

The break in transmission was caused by a very busy time at the club which is reason itself for continued reports so here goes a summary.

Scott Wines from Southern Cross joined us for a week  in January for a conversion to the Junior and to complete  out landing checks

A smiling Lee Braithwaite after his conversion to the Jantar. Lee has contributed  a considerable  amount of time and energy over the last 10 days in upgrading Flarms and batteries - many thanks for your efforts Lee !

Two of our international members - Jim Staniforth (L) and Paul Roche (R) visited;  the weather was not clement but their presence was most welcome.  

Norbert Gulzynski and his wife (Angelica) came to Lake Keepit via Poland and Norway to progress his cross country  flying.

During  their stay, we had an eclectic mix of nationalities speaking an eclectic mix of  languages - a Pommy speaking Danish, a Pole speaking Norwegian, a Yank speaking Swedish and a Norwegian who could speak the lot, including English - what a night!

Chris Bowman, our Secretary, bought his son along to learn to fly and guess what - he did !!

Sam went solo after 5 days and has joined LKSC as a full time member; well done Sam

LKSC hosted the Grand Prix Qualifying event last week which provided some great racing.

On day 2, LKSC pilots were placed 1st and 2nd flying JS1's and the "happy snap" above shows Brad Edwards (L) and  Bruce Taylor (R)  and in the middle, Todd Clarke the happy JS Australian agent

Andy Smith from the UK has been with us for the a month and in that time has done some heroic flights. 700, 500 and 300kms are grist for the mill for Andy and he has been a welcome guest - hope to see you back next year mate
