Another sunny stable day. Only three people flew, five if you count the tuggie and I, the rest busying themselves with work around the club. People are arriving for the working bee.
Andy McCullum notched up another few flights towards his C certificate, having achieved his B certificate. Geoff Neely (towing) and I drove out to Gainey's airstrip to assess it for use for out-landing practice. The owner said it needed slashing, and that he had planned to do it soon anyway, and that he would have it done for us by about 3 pm. How great is that?
We were able to do the out-landing exercise in the afternoon, and all went well.
John McCloud took a break from gutter cleaning duty, and took off in his Cirrus IUZ. He was able to stay up for over an hour. Better and more adventurous pilot that those of us that flew, may have been able to venture away from the field, but I think it would have been slow progress.
David Bull went into Tamworth to visit Bearfast for the first time - and then understood why we all think it is such a great shop. He only just restrained himself from buying more tools!!
Ann Bull cooked dinner for all the troops - the number swelled from 9 to 17, but she just coped! Another great social evening at the club.
Last day in charge - Jenny
