26th June already!

Morning all. Still bright and sunny here, just a bit chilly in the mornings. Things show little sign of slowing down. We had a good few visitors flew in for the shortest day. This event was organised by Iain Pine.

Here a just a few of our visitors. It was a beautiful weekend but no one claimed the bottle of wine! We'll have to save it for next year. Our students and new members are going well. Peter Robinson and Craig Flemming are the current victims, we are making the most of these wonderful days. Peter even blagged a ride in Ian Barracloughs ASH25 the other day. There's lots of work planned for the simulator room this weekend and Bob Dircks is going to present a DI training and testing session on Sunday after briefing. Come and join the fun. Val

Morning All from a bright and chilly Keepit. Somebody said winter was a quiet time but things are continuing apace here. Pictured above is Lynn Anderson, last weeks student after his first solo in the PW5. He couldn't stop smiling! The weather continues to be kind, if a little chilly at night, we have students booked for the next 3 weeks at least. This coming weekend is the shortest day therefore we have set a 300k challenge. Allegedly Jason Kath achieved one last year....who can beat him round this year!! Bottle of wine courtesy of the manager for the greatest distance flown! See you all soon. Val. 

Winter wonderland

Hello one and all. Well it's all happening here at Keepit, someone told me the winters would be quiet!! Not so, we are having a great time. I'll work out how to put pictures on here soon but for now those of you who do Facebook may be interested to know that I have created a Facebook page, inventively known as Lake Keepit Soaring Club. Please have a look and give it a 'like' (if you do!). Please note there are a couple of pages entitled Lake Keepit, one is the State Park, one is random. Please check you have the right one. I am hoping to add pics and snippets of info on the Facebook site fairly regularly.
We have had some great weather here lately, congrats to David Braithwaite for going solo and completing his A and B. The PW5 is here, has had it's altimeter changed. Should be flying shortly. Look forward to seeing you all this weekend. It is the Queens birthday after all!
