A nice few days

The last few days have produced some happy smiling faces.

Pete Garrett, son of John, went solo of Friday, in an impressive 51 flights, almost exclusively from the winch. And these were spread over several months as he couldn't attend as regularly as he wanted to, and then was held back by strong winds on a couple of visits when he was ready to go solo.

Then Charles Jessop, son of Paul, completed his Silver by flying down to Lasham - in 58 minutes, in an Astir, for his first solo cross country. Impressive by anyone's standards.

So those of you who stayed at home watching football, whatever that is, have missed several nice days flying recently. Don't be shy, come out and fly!

Oh, and if you are thinking of entering the most popular Regionals in the UK, you'd better get your act together. We now have 40 entrants in the Open class and 27 in the Sport class. We can handle more, of course, but the comp starts on 24th July, so don't delay entering.
