It was great to get to meet you guys up at Nine Stones (finally) 8)

I am looking forward to getting myself a beginners glider and getting some hours in the air. :)

Post by: gerryb on June 09, 2019, 23:10:08 PM: Hi all,
A most enjoyable day’s gliding on Tountinna on Saturday. Approximately 15 flyers took part and we had models in the air almost all day. A good breeze meant there was always plenty of lift, though landing was sometimes ‘challenging ‘ to say the least! Occasional showers failed to dampen our spirits and there was plenty of friendly chat and banter in between flights. Thanks to everyone who took part, especially Andreas, Ralph, Pete and Chris who travelled long distances to be with us. Thanks also to MACI who funded the event.

Don’t forget, Summer Gliding continues every Wednesday evening on Tountinna for the summer months and anyone in the area is welcome to come and join us.

Thanks to Denis for these photos, hopefully I’ll get some more in the next few days.......

Post by: Flamingo Flier on September 20, 2019, 09:13:24 AM: Hi Everyone,
Regrettably I can't make it to Mt Leinster this September. I hope the weather behaves and you all get some good flying and that almost every model goes home intact - (it would be asking too much for good weather and no damaged models).
On another matter I presume most of you got the invitation from the MACI Chairman to a meeting shortly. This has been re-scheduled (for which I offer my thanks to the Chairman) in order to avoid a clash with our event at Mt Leinster so that no-one has to chose between flying and attending the meeting. Can I encourage as many as possible to attend? Particularly as to my great embarrassment, having requested the change of date, I am unable to attend........

Pretty please??

JIM
