the weekend turned out nice again...pundits left in various directions on saturday, some south, some north-ish; a few got back, others made friends with the locals. The CFI took the opportunity offered by a large area of spreadout to show off his winglets at Shenington, but Helena effortlessly outclassed all other landouts with a visit to Badminton for champers with the Duke of (call me David) Beaufort (...he sat...in my glider! a real duke!) . No doubt an armorial bearing will be embroidered on the head rest soon.
Sunday saw a mass exit in the direction of Shobdon and the Mynd, while the club gliders got a lot of local soaring and trial lessons; not a bad Bank holiday weekend at all.
