Weekend Report: AGM approaches - Best club member?
Both Saturday and Sunday’s weather was superb for TMG as well as glider training. Balmy, Autumn days! Paul Roos was excellent as duty pilot for Saturday and did his duty solo and as though he had done it for years!
Earlier that morning Johnny and I in RMP, Andre and Quiton in GUF, Adriaan and Adri in GXH and Brian Cole in GKM flew in to the breakfast at Robertson which was also well attended by other Clubs.
When we arrived back at FAWC, our newest member – Dietmar – was already there with two paxes who were later flown by Andre in GOK while Dietmar took advantage of having GHB all to himself and flew alternately with Reinhold and Wally who were the duty instructors.
Kelvin had a flight first in GOK and then THREE flights in GUC! Frans du Toit had about twelve tugs to do which kept him busy until after 4.30pm. It was also great to see an old friend from BaraG/Donaldson days - Dirk Gonlag - who visited us for the day!
Sunday morning’s silence was broken with Brian in GKM before he resumed his duty day. He was followed by Martin Young in GUC tugged by Alan Procter. Martin then went on to do his conversion onto GIG and flew for an hour and a half! Well done Martin! Boet Coetzee took his daughter for a flight to Hermanus in GUF. Helmut then flew GUC, too, for over an hour
Nicky and Rob K took the winch out and 4 successful winch launches were achieved. Even Hubert helped myself and Rob Tiffen on the winch runway while Marion very ably ran the aerotow launch point.
Adri and Martin flew to FACT and then later Adri flew there and back solo while June flew with Martin in the Rotax Falke. Later Martin flew with Rob Tiffin in the Falke, too. Thanks to Alan Procter who helped put away four gliders yesterday! A tuggie going beyond and above the call of duty!
This coming weekend there will be a tug pilot for Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday with Rico available for Monday should anyone be interested.
Do also remember the AGM on Wednesday at the Pinelands Bowling Club at 7.30pm. We might even vote a best club member:
See you all there!
