Rob kindly stumped up the cash and purchased us a new (second hand) winch for us to use on the flat. Rather than Rob be out of pocket do we have 4 other people who will put £30 in the pot and build a syndicate winch group. That's just 4 people and Rob. I will put myself forward with £30, so we just need 3 others.....Any others want to contribute?

But I thought you had to land behind the fence?
Another great day up at Ditchling Beacon. Slightly stronger wind than yesterday at times but just as beautiful and just as cold! Today's pilots where Rob, Jack, Clint, Dave, Jef from Essex and me. We were joined by some locals from Mill Hill together with there beautiful scale gliders.
We had a good bit of combat with Rob and Jack having a crunching mid air braking both Ninja's. I am still trying to get my landings better and today proved a little more successful. Clint's wife baked us a cake (thanks Mrs Clint the cake was good!) and refreshments again served by Clint. Oh yes, he did manage to do some flying but enjoyed the 'walk of shame' by landing behind the fence a few times. This had an effect on a lot of the pilots up there who where seen wandering of to the gate and disappearing behind the fence to collect a stray model. Yes, this was I, yesterday but Jack bounced off the top of the fence and David used the fence as an arrester hook but seemed to be enjoying himself. We all seem to have had a go at the fence sometime during the weekend!
