Weekend Report: Mother's May

The highlight of the past weekend was a Prawn Dish that Marion Cole whipped up on Friday night.

Saturday;s flying was almost a non-event : not a single pupil’s name on the flying list! Flying got started only because a couple of KLM pilots on a Lay-over arrived. Anton van Doeveren and Lucas Declerck had flight with Nicky, Sven and Rico. Also Brian Cole took to the skies with Nicky in Brian’s Pipistrel Sinus. Reinhold flew solo in Rudi’s Astir and the tandemfalke. Sven managed to stay airborne for 71 minutes and Alan Procter had a check flight.



SUNDAY (Mothers day ) was a day for non-attached pilots! CRAIG HOPKINS joined (or re-joined) as a member and had 2 flights, so did Helmut von Michaelis, whilst William Whittaker took GIG up for 1,5 hrs. Martin took Hannes Mayer up for 2,5 hrs and then ANDRE VAN RENSBURG did his conversion in GZF. The ridge was working well and towards Robertson there were good cloudstreets. Martin came back from Robertson on thermal power only!

What a weekend of missed opportunities for low-time glider pilots!
