Here you go Keith. A few photos from Saturday before the real entertainment got going. By the looks of the previous post I should have stolen the bottle of "coke" that Fred was handing around on the slope.  :o

Thanks to all for a great day.

It’s your own fault Richard, :evil:  you should know better for a man of your age than to be drinking the ‘hard stuff’.(am I sounding like a wife? :P)  I’ve no sympathy for you at all. (Well, may be just a little bit :wink: )

Great pictures Kevin (Junior) :clap: . Please bring your camera to the next meeting.

That has to have been one of the best glide-ins doesn’t it lads. I’ve not heard from anyone who didn’t enjoy themselves. Thanks to all of you for making it so.

Keith. (Little)

the high light of the weekend for me was talkin to Noel Barratt :D  away back when i flew F3A he was the main man  :clap:  :clap:
the crack on saturday night at the b+b was some steam it could have been a seen from mrs browns boys  :lol:  :lol: it was so funny

Stephen it was a pleasure giving you your first glider flight and i hope to see on the slope next year with an easy star  :D

Hi lads
It was such a good weekend that Stephen was bitten by the bug . I believe he has started negotiating a price on a glider with a member on here :-).. I'm sure he will be on to let us know how he got when he gets it :-)



So well done lads there's another one converted :-)

How very enthusiastic of you Stephen. First flight on the Saturday, - first plane on the Thursday!! 8)   You passionate person, you! :clap:  


I’m telling you Stephen, slope soaring is highly addictive. You’ll never look at the countryside  in the same light again.
In future you’ll be driving along with the family, and your wife will say something like, “Oh isn’t that a pretty view?” You’ll find yourself replying, “Not really, the angle of the hill is okay, but there’s no landing area.” (She’ll look at you and conclude that her mother was right all along,….you’re soft in the head! :lol: )

Great, isn't it! :P

The Keithy has run into a little bit of a problem with the Glide - In  Video, :!:

 I’ve always believed in keeping production as simple as possible, but I’ve hit a snag that’s going to take a while to sort out.  I’m not the cleverest of guys with pc’s. (Okay, let’s be honest, I’m not the cleverest with anything…… :oops: .. Thought I‘d say it before someone else did!)
I’ve finished the opening sequence and the ending, but I’m stuck trying to do the middle section . So you’ll have to be content with just the opening for the time being. It’s supposed to ‘get you in the mood’ to want to watch more. It’ll probably send you all to sleep. Zzzzzz :roll:

Anyway, here’s the opening sequence,…………the whole thing will follow in a couple of weeks. (Hopefully)

Er,….. Richard, be afraid,…..be very afraid! :P

Thank you gentlemen, you’re very kind. As soon as I can get Windows Movie Maker to stop freezing up on me I’ll hopefully be able to finish it off.
