Another Good Club Turn Out at Beeding Bowl - 3rd August 2024

Despite a rather iffy weather forecast the morning turned out much better than expected until finally the rain arrived around midday. Once again, I was in attendance to meet up with 2 potential club members, Ivan S and Mick J who were both welcomed by existing club members. Ivan was so keen he joined the Club that very evening.

Members Having Fun On The Slope

Many of the usual suspects were flying today with a variety of models. It was great to see Robin Ad on the slope after quite some time away from flying. 

Robin Ad's - Nice little Glider

One of our newest members Nick W was flying his Alula which is painted to represent a seagull, apologies if it is some other type of bird. Nick V arrived with a clutch of models but unfortunately suffered a battery malfunction and had to borrow a battery pack from Martin J. Something funny was occurring as when Nick got home all was well with the batteries. 

The seagull - I think

Martin J brought along his Blob and Coyote with Paul H who had his Middle Phase and the Damitt. Scott T arrived but decided not to fly but came along for a social. All in all it was a very good morning with the possibility of being able to sit on the grass and have a very sociable conversation with other like minded individuals. I for one am very impressed how the Club is growing in numbers. 

SAS Wildthing and a Weasel

It's almost every week I receive an e-mail requesting details of the Club, long may it continue. So today we had 7 club members with 2 potential members, not too bad for a Saturday morning.
