Hi Ralph,
After further discussions with Shannon MFC hierarchy, we have decided to add a 2nd date for a glider guider’s gathering on Tountinna.
 
We plan to gather on Saturday 7th September, so you might please add this date to your calendar.

As usual, all GG’s and glider types welcome to attend.

Regards, Gerry B

Hi all,
Just thought I’d share some photos of models being built by the TT brigade over the winter.
First up is Denis Kelly’s Slingsby ‘Eagle’ from the Mike Trew plan. I’m not sure of the exact span, but it’s about 3.5m.

Next is Philip Hickey’s ASK 18 from the Cliff Charlesworth plan and Laser Cut Sailplanes semi-kit. 4m span

3rd is Pete Townsend’s 1:3.5 ASK 18. Can’t remember who does the kit, but at over 4.5m, this is a big model!

Last one up is my own Slingsby T21 Sedberg. 1:4 sc, 4m span, from the Frank Albrecht kit.

All models progressing nicely and should be ready to fly by the start of next season.

Regards, Gerry Buckley

Hi all, due to unsuitable winds (SEasterly) and rain forecast for Saturday, we have decided to postpone our glider gathering for the time being. We will organise a future date next time we meet on TT. I hope people are not too disappointed. Regards, GB

By the way, this is the forecast at the moment, for TT tomorrow.  A decent W breeze, but no rain.

I can only do my best……😂😂😂

That’s a pity John, had hoped to see you on the slope tomorrow. Enjoy your holidays.

Hopefully, you’ll be there Fred, looking forward to seeing you.
