Winter Flying RatesIn accordance with a vote taken at the AGM, there will no concessionary winter flying rates this winter.Peugeot EventThe Peugeot launch of their 3008 went more smoothly than we could have hoped. There were no mechanical problems with the kit, no hassles, no complaints, and no crashes. And importantly, the weather gods smiled on us for four consecutive days, which is more than any of could have wished for.The effort from Club members was enormous. The days were over eleven hours long, and many the thirty members who helped were there for all four days. And of course, Andy S and John D had the pressure of the need for a successful event after all the hard work they did setting it up. The work that went into the preparation of the site was huge too, with many members giving up their flying for the sake of cleaning, sweeping, polishing and fettling. A notable few put in effort far above and beyond the call. The result was a smooth, efficient, and professional operation. Our role was initially to provide a backdrop to Peugeot's event, but many of the journalists came out and flew, and without exception they were impressed with the Club, the operation, and the flying. It can do us only good to have these guys, including some high-profile names, aware of us and what we do. The thanks of the Club and all its members are due to everyone who helped make it a success.

PershoreThere's a farmer near Pershore who really doesn't want gliders in his fields. Its not malicious, he just has a lot of young stock that are easily panicked. The disincentive is financial, as Mike Corfield discovered when he landed the K18 out during Task Week. Now that we know about this, the area is no go for landouts, and anyone who does so is on their own. There are maps in the Clubhouse. Site SummaryThere's a summary of the site here.
