If you do not have a glider and are interested in taking up gliding,
Please come along and we will get you flying !
Coffee tea etc. is povided for pilots and friends.
If anyone is travelling long distances then please let me know as to assist with accommodation.
We will have direction signs in place from the A29 after you exit the small town of Moneymore.
My phone number is (044) 07787368449 incase you need to speak with me or contact me via PM on Glider Ireland.

Hmmmmm, :?: ……….the weather predictions don’t seem to want to play ball, do they Richard.
Both Metcheck and Accuweather are saying showers/rain and South/ south westerly winds for next weekend :(
I know you’ve referred to the southerly slopes as being “restricted”, not too sure what that means, but overall at the moment I don’t think I’ll be joining you this time round ol’ fruit. :!:
May be later in the year :D

Richard Boyd:
Hi Keith its a pity you are unable to make it.
I will miss you my friend.
The weather man, is like going to a fortune teller, maybe they predict correctly ! Maybe they just fill your head full of nonsense.
Time will tell on the winds etc.
This is the southern slope were i flew my we Fox in forecast winds of 5-8mph winds, on arrival at the slope it was 25, gusting to 32mph.

Happy Days:
I’ve seen that little video of your Fox before, it certainly seemed to find more than enough lift on that day didn’t it. :D
As for next weekend, I’ll keep an eye on the forecasts. As you say, the weathermen have been known to get it wrong! :!:
