The first frost of winter...


....and a glorious sunny day, with plenty of action at Booker. The FOG briefing on ground handling and the arcane art of glider parking was followed by a practical session on splicing, the participants all did very well. As to flying, there were instructor checks, aerobatics, members flying, and a visitor from Weston on the Green escaping from heavy objects falling from the sky at his usual airfield. The weather was ideal for all levels of experience.


The end of the day saw an attempt on the record for the maximum number of people required to derig a K21.





And then as we thawed out with hot tea in the clubhouse we were treated to a magnificent sunset.
