Okay, so who’s up for a spot of PSS and sport gliding on the Big L this weekend???  :?:

Come along, don’t be shy, surely everyone must be suffering with withdrawal symptoms after this horrendous winter.

Looks like there will be a good blow on the south slope on Saturday, and then a more gentle ’Floating’ kinda day on the west slope on Sunday. Something for everyone over the weekend 8)

I’ll be there from about 11.00 on Saturday. Who else will I meet there???

Oh my goodness :shock: !!! At this rate I shall be flying on my own,…..again! :cry:

Well good luck with the surgery Bill, seems we haven’t seen you on the Big L for years, and Gerry, you take care of those knees. The injury probably came from all that praying you do. (“ God. Please let me land this plane in one piece”)
And as for Andrews’ claim that he‘ll be working,……pretty poor one that Andy,…Life is about priorities. (Personally, I always thought work as a greatly overrated pastime. :lol: ) Hopefully we’ll see the three of you in the Autumn. 8)

Okay, so with our ranks greatly depleted who IS going to turn up?

I'll be there (and the only thing that will stop me getting up there, would be 2 metres of snow!).
The PSS event, we never really go over 10~15 pilots as this is only the start of the season, and it's still very chilly out there!

Anyway, even when it's pouring rain and the meeting cancelled, we still managed to be 6 the last time, so I guess we can't go lower!  :lol:  :D

I'll try to be there early, around 9am, with a car full of gliders. A few first flights to be done, and I have decided to bring gliders that I haven't flown in a while for a change!  :D

Looking forward to meet you all!  :D

Yeah, I know,...that's what I'm worried about :lol:

So, Fred and Ralph as well as Big Keith & Stephen,......Five, well that's a start.

JP are you going to join us? After all PSS is just 'up your street' isn't it?
Who else intends to join our happy throng?

(And I'll be there as well :P )

Hi Lads,

I'll only get down on Sunday, some family priorities came up.
 
I might get down late Saturday if I can get away

Bill keep her lit there mate, we're rooting for you hope all goes well.

Thanks Andrew  :D  

Car packed, a few batteries are charging... Looks like I will finish a glider or two at the slope or at the B&B tomorrow!  :oops:
