Loadsaflyin'!
A beautiful start to the day with fabulous visibility and a light westerly breeze. It was thermic around midday with a 3,000' cloudbase but plenty of breaks to allow Graham Saw's aerobatic course to make the most of their 4,000' tows. In excess of 40 launches for the day made for a good 'un.
For those on the ground the entertainment was laid on with a "Strictly Pawnee Starting" competition. And the judges verdict is in..... Heggie 0, Collett 1.

Paul Goodman Conservative MP for Wycombe

Paul Goodman Conservative MP for Wycombe and Shadow Minister for Communities and Local Government visited the club today. He had talks with the chairman Geoff Tabbner and deputy chairman Denis Campbell on a variety of issues. Many thanks to Geoff Lyons for arranging the visit.
Although pressed, Paul declined the offer of a flight in a glider, saying once was enough. We are trying to find out who took him up the first time

Friday 23rd
After a couple of false starts due to poor weather we flew a couple of groups funded under the government's "Learning Revolution". Twenty clubs have each been granted £1000 from the BGA to fly those who would never otherwise have had contact with gliding. They all immensely enjoyed the experience and were very grateful for the opportunity. The photos shows the very happy group from the "rethink" charity in Maidenhead after their flights, who would like to thank Booker for this very enjoyable and unexpected opportunity.
