28th July and its all still happening

Hi All. Hopefully everyone has recovered from Christmas now. It seems I have a bit to learn about formatting things in these blogs. Sorry for the poorly presented awards info last week. I hope it was still readable. Notable achievements last week were David Holmes converted to the LS7 as did Lynn Anderson who also completed his 'C' certificate and a 3hr 40min flight. Not bad for winter. Ian and Jenny will be holding the fort while I am in the UK. We look forward to seeing a lot of you at maintenance week. Happy flying. Val

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas one and all.
What an excellent weekend we have just had. A well presented, well attended Safety Seminar during the day. Good progress made on the simulator room during the breaks.

This was followed by an excellent Christmas Meal. Roast turkey, honey roast ham and all the trimmings beautifully cooked by Joy and her team

Room decorated Lasham VGC style by Pete Richie

All in all an excellent weekend. HUGE thanks to all who made it happen. Details of award recipients to follow, I have to go flying now.

15th July...Winter Draws On!

Good morning all. Its getting a little chilly in paradise but it's all still happening here. GOOD NEWS... the LS7 and Discus have returned from maintenance, meaning we now have five of our six single seaters online. Need a type conversion? Now's your chance. We've been flying all week. Our two Danish visitors have caught the Keepit 'addiction' and have extended their stay. Our newest tuggie, David Braithwaite, has completed his training as is now to be seen applying TLC to MPH

Don't forget its Chrismas on th19th July. Yes its winter....that's when Christmas should be! (If you're a Pom that is). As well as Christmas and awards night, its also the amazing Safety Seminar, allegedly a very interesting presentation.  Happy flying. Val
