We have benefited from the sites unique geography recently with members enjoying an interesting mix of conditions with wave, ridge and sea breeze fronts all being utilised. Jan Eldem continues to make rapid progress, climbing to silver height on his 6th solo, unfortunately without the benefit of a barograph. This situation was rectified the following week when Jan, and barograph, climbed to gold height on the best day of the year so far. Phil Storer used the wave to claim his 5 hours whilst others used the conditions to inundate the Club ladder steward. ……On a more down to earth note the airfield owners are reviewing airfield security and have decided we must be locked in at weekends! Visitors by road will need to ring the club mobile on 0860 135447….to gain access to the airfield. The recent AGM resulted in Peter Seddon stepping down as secretary and we thank him for his efforts, your truly has stepped into his shoes.

It has been a bleak time recently, with the deaths of Lyn Martindale, following a flying accident and Dick Redhead, our treasurer, after a short illness. Lyn’s accident has very much overshadowed other activities but both Andy Tebay and Shaun Ryan have resoled recently; Andy after a 2 year layoff and Shaun after a somewhat longer absence. Peter Redshaw and Dave North are currently in France in a two-seater competition with the Capstan in preparation for defending their title at Pocklington.
