Weekend Report: No flying and a social day

SATURDAY 22nd April

I am sure that I don't need to give anyone a weather report of the weekend
but the only thing that happened on Saturday was the WEATHER! A few brave
souls ventured out to the Club but the airfield looked like a sea for most
of the day as the rain bucketed down.

NO FLYING

SUNDAY 23rd April

I asked Andre to send out an e-mail on Saturday to encourage anyone wanting
to winch on Sunday to be there. The wind was too strong for the tugs, as
it happened, and we had a great team turn out for winching.

Garth Milne was duty pilot par excellence and had his instructors Boet and
Fred as well as Ian Forbes helping to get things going. Sven manned the
lights and the radio and Rob K drove the winch, with yours truly for part of
the day on the tractor and trailer. Thanks to Jacobus Hartman for taking
over on the tractor, and William Whittaker, who later flew GUC off the
winch, for all their effort. Mike Allen and Helmut von Michaelis also had
turns flying.

All in all, the spirit was great and as Garth says:" a great social time was
had by all!"

Thanks to all concerned.

REMEMBER:

Thursday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday are all rostered flying days so come
out to the Club and join us for a great long weekend!!
