Landing Briefing Notes

Friday, 3 April 2015

The Easter weekend is here!!

Firstly a huge apology for my cock up regarding the eSoaring fun day. I found the post advertising the fun day, glanced at the dates and thought I would let everyone know that this was on but got it completely wrong - DOH!!!!
Anyway moving on very quickly...........
The Easter weekend is upon us and hopefully most of us will have some time to fly over the next 4 days?
FRIDAY
Pants - go an earn some brownie points logged in the book and charge up all your models for the next three days.
SATURDAY
Looks good for Ditchling. Currently Indicating a 15mph N / NE wind.
How about we meet up at the car park for 10.00am? Rain now showing holding off till around 1.00pm,
SUNDAY
After you have been to church and delivered all your chocky eggs, why not come and see our brand new flat field flying site in Hassocks?
The wind will be light & variable but cloudy. Not the best conditions for thermals but the light winds will help us. We have lots of work to do at the field with posts to be moved and holes needing filling in. I'm hoping we can do some work but do much more flying.
I'm hoping to get down there around 11.00am and spend 2 or 3 hours down there. If you don't know where the new field is exactly then email me or Rob for a map and post code. We don't want to advertise the exact location of the field to the whole world for obvious reasons.
I will bring along our winch and bungee plus some electric gliders and my DLG gliders.
Come along, have a look and a fly and if you haven't done already - why not consider joining our club?
MONDAY
Currently showing another light wind day with cloud. If so I will try and get down the field again for some more post removal and more glider flying from the flat. I will confirm start times for Monday later on in the weekend.

Well there you go! Hopefully something for everyone in that forecast. Slope soaring and flat field flying. Please come along and enjoy the company as well as some good flying.
