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.

Hi all, Summer Gliding will start on Tountinna on Wednesday 6th April (weather permitting of course).
All glider-guiders are welcome to join us every Wednesday afternoon/evening for the summer.
If you’re in the area, why not throw a glider in the car and spend a couple of hours on TT with us, you won’t be disappointed.
Regards, GB

This was our gathering yesterday afternoon. Hard to believe we’re coming to the end of October with such fine weather….

During the summer, Philip Kieran and myself often got flying off the coast on Loop Head. Light winds, perfect for some floaty type models.

We’re still flying on Tountinna every Wednesday afternoon. So far, we’ve been very lucky with the weather.
